Parents-

 

I had a parent ask about a roster for our class. Figure there might be more that need it, so I'm attaching it.

 

Thanks,

Kemp - Brazile - 2/10/15

Parents-

 

I hope everyone is doing well. We're working hard here. Here are the highlights, followed by the details:

 

·         Several compliments for our kids recently.

·         Valentine's Day – Kids can bring in cards for class and others, be sure to bring bag/box to set out to receive.

·         Reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

·         Math, covering volume

·         Social Studies – WWII

·         Science – Cells and Microorganisms

·         Language Arts – Parts of Speech and conventions

·         Writing – Citing facts to support writing

 

I've had several compliments from other teachers and staff about our group. I was told by one specialist that ours was her favorite class because they're so willing to try activities. Another (the media specialist) talked about how willing the kids are to try new things and how diligent they are about research. She led a class to help them expand their research abilities and they did an outstanding job with it. Today, our principal said how impressed she was with how they moved from listening to activity with their devices and back again. It shows their maturity and responsibility using the devices so well. I'm proud to have a class that stands out for their independence, resourcefulness, responsibility, and academic initiative!

 

Friday, we will celebrate Valentine's Day. I ask that the kids include all in our class of 28. If they would like to get them to others outside of our class too, that's great. We will set each child's labeled bag or box outside our classroom Friday morning. Then the kids will distribute the Valentines in the morning. We will not be having a "celebration" as some have asked. I ask that everyone be mindful of the nut allergies in our class and other classes.

 

Our focus of study in each subject is listed above. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

 

I would like to reiterate to all that if your child is having trouble in an area, please let me know. I work with them in class and I try to cover each student that I know is struggling with a topic. However, if they appear to "get it" in class, I may not spend the time they truly need. If they express confusion at home, just shoot me an email and I can help clear it all up.

 

Thanks!

Shane Brazile

Parents of rising 6^th grade students going to Lost Mountain Middle School,

 

Attached is a flyer about the upcoming Coffee Talk at Lost Mountain.  Below is some general information from the LMMS counselors about the monthly Coffee Talks.

 

Ms. Wilkes does a coffee talk once a month (first Friday of the month) in our media center.  Parents can come whenever they want and or drop in. Ms. Wilkes will start with a "state of the school address" where she lets parents know what is going on in the school and what is coming up and then she has open agenda where parents ask questions.  It is a great informal way to meet Ms. Wilkes, the counselors, PTSA, administrator and to know what is going on in the school.  Please share with your 5^th grade parents.

 

We will still do the parent meeting at night later on this year. This is just an additional opportunity for our 5^th grade parents.

Kemp - Brazile 1/16

Parents-

 

Just a couple things to hit this week:

·         Congratulations to our spelling bee contestants (Patrick, Corbin, and Chaz).

·         Chaz finished Runner-up!!

·         No school Monday in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

 

I'm very proud of our 3 spelling bee contestants. Chaz finished as Runner-up. You wouldn't believe some of the words the kids got this year. Not sure I would have made it very far in the competition.

 

No school Monday! Enjoy the long weekend and please stay safe.

Please forward the following to your parents.

 

Parents,

 

I am attaching a flyer about a parent night for rising 6^th grade parents for Lovinggood Middle School.  They are also asking for input about what questions you would like answered at this parent night.  Please see the information below from the 6^th grade counselor:

 

The spring semester marks a very important turning point in your child's academic life. This is their last semester in elementary school—next school year you both will be venturing into the world of middle school. Whether this idea is exciting, or frightening (or perhaps a little bit of both), we are sure you have quite a few questions. In preparation for our parent information night on Tuesday, March 24, we would like to hear from you. As you and your child prepare for middle school, what questions are forefront on your mind?  What concerns do you have or what have you heard and would like some clarification? Please e-mail all questions to 6^th Grade School Counselor, Katie Bower at kathleen.bower@cobbk12.org, by Monday, March 9. Questions will be compiled and answered during our parent information night. If you are unable to attend the meeting, but would like a copy of the questions and answers, please indicate so in an e-mail. We look forward to meeting you soon.

 

Thank you,

Kemp - Brazile

Parents –

 

I just want to give you some background on something your child may talk to you about tonight. We have been discussing how people change the world. Yesterday, we discussed how we could have a positive impact on the  world. We looked at a charity called Charity Water (http://www.charitywater.org) . We looked at how our class could have a huge impact through networking. This is completely optional for the students to participate in. They seem very gung ho about it and most have written a little blurb to send out. No donations are gathered physically, they're all given through the charity website. Our campaign page is https://my.charitywater.org/brazile . We looked at what would happen if we contacted 5 people and asked them to contact 3 people and so on.  I'd like for the kids to see how one person can affect change on the world. Again, this is completely optional. I'd like for the kids to independently follow through and then see what happens.

 

I've researched the charity for a while and I like what they're about. 100% goes towards those that need it. They send updates throughout the process so you can see how it's going. It is a process and I aim to give you all updates throughout.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Shane Brazile
