Late Work/Correcting Errors/Take-Home Tests

The students are given back work on a regular basis to correct and return so that we know the concept has been understood. Many times the paper does not make it back to us and then it must be redone. Math is the class that this happens the most in. Please check with your child on how they are doing with their classwork and if they have corrections that need to be taken care of. Thanks!

We have also given some tests as take-home and have encouraged your child to ask for help if needed. Our goal is that the child understands what is being taught more than just pushing through material. A math and a language test was available to be taken home this past Tuesday and Wednesday, even if they finished it in class. No one took the math home. There was more participation on taking the language test home but I am wondering if you, the parent, was even asked to look over it with them.

On the right hand side of the classroom white board is an updated list of late work so that you can check it and the student is aware of what needs to be turned in.

THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!!
