Hello Families,
Thank you to those who have already come for their parent-teacher conferences. I find it reinvigorating to have those conversations about your student's accomplishments, as well as topics that need more focus for the rest of the year. I look forward to meeting with the rest of you this Tuesday night.
Math: We are getting close to the end of Unit 6, and will be likely taking the test at the end of the upcoming week. Please assist your student in any way possible at home, and remind them to come in with questions if there are concepts they have not mastered yet. The end of the unit centers on adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.
Writing: Your son or daughter should have written in their planner this Friday that they need to have their Third Draft of their descriptive essay completed. I know that some students have some work they need to finish on this. Through this intensive writing process they will learn the benefit of revising and editing to show significant changes and growth from their rough draft to the final copy.
Student Leaving: We had an unfortunate loss to our class as one of our student's family moved back to their home country after a parent finished a doctoral program at a local university. I was very proud and impressed with the compassion and understanding that the class displayed on this student's last day. Please ask your student to explain more.
Door Contest: As a part of I Love to Read Month, Brimhall is having a "Decorate Your Door Contest." The class elected to use the book "Holes" as our theme. A group of students was drawn to complete the task, but as time constraints became pressing, the whole class was able to pitch in to get it done on time. The next time you are in the school, please take a look at our "Holes" display as well as the other finely decorated doors throughout the school.
Enough for now, as always let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Mr. Norman
