Pre-Conference Forms

Parent Conference Day is Tuesday November 8th.

Students WILL NOT be in school this day.

Just a heads up about some homework I assigned today.  Your child should have brought home a pre-conference forms this afternoon.  I would appreciate it if you could take the time to complete the form and send it back as soon as you can.  Our time is limited during our parent conference and I want to take sure that I address any questions you may have during our conference.

Thanks for taking the time to fill the pre-conference form out.

RECORDERS NEEDED

READING INCENTIVE PROGRAM

The Reading Incentive Program at Coolidge has begun!

Students have brought home their reading sheets to be turned in when fully completed.  Students in fourth grade are required to read for every 30 minutes.  Once they ahve read a total of 30 minutes, they may mark off the book on the sheet or color the book on hte sheet.  Once the ENTIRE paper is completed, parents are asked to SIGN the sheet.   We would like the students to turn in 10 reading sheets to complete the program for the medal ceremony which is held in June.

MY NIGHTLY ASSIGNED READING does COUNT  TOWARDS THIS PROGRAM !    If students read 20 minutes a night for my homework, 3 night of twenty minute reading will equal 3 books for the Reading Incentive program. 

Our classroom will have a  reading recorder who will keep track of the sheets as they are passed in.   I do ask that the sheets are passed in on an individual basis throughout the year, not 10 sheets at the end of the year. 

The sheets are readily available in our classroom and / or on this blog! 

Here's hoping EVERY student receives a medal in June!
