Dear Parents,
Greetings from our classroom! What a busy mode we are in, but what a great learning place to be. Conference week is next week and I can’t wait to sit down with each of you as we discuss your child and the areas of growth I’ve seen since the beginning of the school year and while we have areas where we may still need to improve, we have until the end of May to make it happen.
· Congratulations to Emma Chorney, Jim Fadus, Garret Harris, Elise Hudson, Natalie Johnson, Grant Mercer, Diana Semegran, Caitlyn Shelton, Ryan Stevens, Patrick Stogner, and Kip Taylor for ending the period 10/13/08-12/19/08 with no tardies and no absences from school. Way to go you guys!
· In support of our Science curriculum, we recently enjoyed visits from our 4H representative as well as a visit from the
CATO
Environmental
Education
Center
. They shared with our students more lessons on mold and micro-organisms and inherited traits. Students learned a lot of their peers could do things like roll their tongues!
· Grant Mercer’s mom came in this week and read some wonderful books to us which gave us an opportunity to have some good character discussions.
· Congratulations to Isabel D’Arcy, first place winner and Emma Chorney, runner-up in the class Spelling bee. It’s not easy to spell those words in front of everyone.
· We’ll have 4H (Nutrition class) on February 2nd.
· Early Release Day is February 4th.
·
Cobb
County
EMC Career Day is February 10th. Our class will complete applications tomorrow.
· Finally, welcome to Taylor Payne, a senior at
Harrison
and our new Rise student.
Taylor
is a former Due West Student and we’re glad to have her helping out in the classroom.
Finally, if you have any questions or comments, please email me at either of the email addresses above. I am so appreciative of everything you do for our class and Due West. We could not do it without you.
Together, we’re better!
