ATTENTION: I have decided to put a hold on Book Club for a week or two. We
are going to backtrack, and read a short book together. Then the kids will
work in groups on a report, and individually on a project. The reasoning for
this is that only 20% of the class is showing me any effort for Book Club. I
have too many students who are consistently unprepared, or who are just not
producing any work. So we will pause, and take a few steps back. Please stay
tuned, as I may revamp the whole program for this group as well. Thank you
for your patience.
NOTE: please send in a note or call the office when your child is absent,
thank you!
NOTE: HW planners went home today. We are practicing writing our assignments
into our planners. Please help us to be organized and responsible by checking
our planners daily for due dates.
Friday: Wear your "Ballard Bear Wear" for school spririt. If you don't have a
Ballard school shirt or sweatshirt you can wear red or black.
Please help your child to remember to bring
the following to school:
Binder
Book they are reading for Book Club
Friday Folder
water
lunch/snack
Music instrument
Thanks a bunch!
