Important Reminder
Elementary Back-to-School Night is Monday at 5:00-6:30pm. I suggest having at least one family member present in room 11 at 5:00pm. I will begin the evening's discussion talking about your role in your child's homework. I will discuss the difference between a grade of 3 and 4 in homework and in all other subjects. My goal for the evening is to help you to get all that you can out of your child's public education and to help you fully realize your role in their education. Please feel free to ask any questions about our program. Understand that I have only known your child for 3 days and hesitate to answer any specific questions about student performance at this time.

Last year my daughter's kindergarten teacher had a list of standards each quarter that we could use for review with our children at home. Do you have such a list?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your question. I work from the state standards which are linked through the website. Those standards represent the minimum end target of academic competence for first graders. We will be working towards those same standards throughout the year. In some subjects, such as science, social studies, health science, and the arts, certain standards receive more focus during particular times of the year. For example in science I will target physical science and states of matter during the first reporting period, earth science and weather for the second, and the life/plant science standards for the third. Is this what you had in mind? Or are you possibly referring to a list of skills and grading criteria and minimum requirements for each grading period?
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was looking for requirements for each grading period so we could set periodic goals.
ReplyDeleteAs a grade level we are working on those and will make them available as soon as they are ready.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
