End of the 2nd nine weeks
Jan. 27th is the last day of the 2nd nine weeks. All the kids are progressing nicely, continue to work with them at home. We are starting to write words phonetically, please encourage your child to sound out their words instead of you writing it for them. I also need everyone to work on their child’s personal information. Your child has to know their phone number, address, parent/s name/s, birthday, age and their full name (no nicknames). I have tested all students for this nine weeks, but will retest the students again at progress report time and again at the end of the 3rd nine weeks. In the next week or so I will be emailing everyone a 3rd nine weeks study guide. If you do not get it please contact me and let me know.
