From The Teacher’s Desk:
As the school year moves
forward, the curriculum
continues to grow more difficult.
Please continue to have your
child review past concepts
taught, as well as, have
conversations about what they
are currently learning and
discussing in class. The move
they talk about the information,
the more they will develop a
solid understanding of the
material covered, as well as,
make stronger connections.
Please remember, the classroom
pace is faster and the
requirements and concepts are
more difficult. It is very
important for your child to be at
school and on time as much as
possible.
Please remember to
check planner daily
