Greetings for October!
It was great to see many of you at the curriculum nights! Thank you
for taking the time to come out and learn about the many aspects that make
up your child's days at school. If you were not able to make it or whenever
you come upon any questions in general, please do not hesitate to contact
me. The telephone number here at school is (508)886-0073, and my email
address is diana_powers@wrsd.net.
We are currently spending a good chunk of our time in class (both in
the sixth and seventh grade) working on writing. Students have been using
the writing process to write paragraphs and essays on their summer reading
and they've been learning how to apply the writing process to generate final
drafts of selected entries in their writer's notebooks. Ask your child at
the end of this week what he or she has learned and done in the area of
revising, editing, and preparing final drafts.
Homework expectations continue as normal with the exception of a few
nights when the grammar exercise has not been assigned for one reason or
another. If you'd like to see how your child is doing both in terms of
homework completion and participation in class, check their grades on
Powerschool. All homework and participation averages through September 26
have been posted.
Thank you for your interest and support!
Diana Powers
