Ulrich Update
January 16th, 2024
This week we will be seeing how much each student grows with their Winter AIMS Web screening. There is nothing I need from you but to make sure they are getting a good nights rest and able to have a good breakfast. I can't wait to see their growth.
A new thing with spelling I will be doing now after tests is having students re-write the words they missed 5 times on the back. The goal is to spell the words so if that accomplished, writing a few more times will hopefully help motivate students to study a little more during the week. They have access to spellingcity.com on their chromebooks as well as a copy of the words glued in their reading notebook that stays at school and provided a copy to take home to study. I already had some not finish their rewriting of words.
I'm also already have a LOT of missing work. Please ask your child nightly if they completed all their work at school that day or if they need to finish it that night. I don't send homework home. Just papers they did not complete in class. Remember if they miss a day they get an extra day to make it up.... not 5 or 6 days unless they were absent that long.
