CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FOLLOWING STUDENTS FOR REACHING THEIR GOAL WITH AN 85% AVERAGE:
Laney, Charles, and Josue
Congratulations to the following students for reaching their goal and are still working to increase their average to 85%:
Fabion and Zakira
The following students are very close and should reach their goal:
Kylee, Markissia, Brianna, Tayler, Skylar, Christian, and Shane
All other students can reach their goal by this Thursday but will have to work extremely hard this week and test at least one book every day. These students will have no privileges until their goal and percentage is met.
Multiplication/Division Facts: It is extremely important that your child has his/her multiplication facts MEMORIZED by the end of this school year in preparation for 4th grade. To help your child, we will begin TIMED multiplication tests this week. If you have internet at home, there are many fun online games that your child can use to help learn and review the facts. If you don’t have internet, flashcards are a great way to learn and review them!
Books: Thank you to the many students who have returned my books. Please continue to look for books that belong to Ms. Vicki, Ms. Rachel, and the library and return them as soon as possible.

Green Graded Work Folder: Your child’s green graded work folder will normally be sent home on Tuesdays. This allows your child time to correct mistakes from the previous week’s assessments. Please review each paper with your child and sign the Graded Work sheet. Be sure to return the folder, papers, and signed Graded Work sheet the next day. The “grade” or number on each paper corresponds to the following standards code which will also be on progress reports and report cards.
(4) Advanced = Superior mastery of skill; significantly prepared for the next level of study (93%-100%)
(3) Proficient = Mastery of skill; prepared for next level of study (85%-92%)
(2) Basic = Partial mastery of skill; minimally prepared for next level of study (70%-84%)
(1) Below Basic = No mastery of skill; not prepared for the next level of study (69% and below)
(*) Indicates reteaching and/or modifications used (ex: extended time, modified testing, etc.)
