30 October - 3 November (Week 11)

Welcome to 2nd Quarter! As a reminder, the year should continue to get easier despite the content becoming more challenging. This is because we have improved our ability to balance all of our classes and learned what we need to do to be successful. A few things we talked about in class today to be ready for a great second quarter included: studying 5 minutes per day for mastery grades, avoiding procrastination (complete work on time and fix work shortly after it is graded), and get help (friends, parents, peer tutors, Ms. Morris). As a reminder, there are sign up sheets in my classroom for help from me. RTI tends to be a little bit busy but before and after school are usually only crowded the week or two before the end of a quarter. (Let's try to change that!)

For your information, I will be out of town attending an educational conference next Monday through Wednesday (November 6-8). Please note that I won't have appointment times before or after school or during RTI those days. I will also be unable to have appointments before school Thursday November 9th as I will need to review notes from my substitute in order to prepare for the day.
