The VES staff will be participating in School Improvement Inservice workshops involving Goal 2: All students students will improve mathematical reasoning. Lunch will be served and Tuesday, we will resume our regular schedule.
A great big thank you to all the parents for assisting your child on the home project/diorama activity. Our Media Fair certainly had our glitches, but the overall effect of the long-term project-based learning activity, helped with many 1st Grade Standards which connect to our School Improvement Plan and content areas of Science and Language Arts. Our rehearsals went much more smoothly than the actual program, and it was evidence of their presentation skills having improved immensely. You are a 'hands-down' winner of the BEST PARENTS in the SCHOOL!
Please refer to the new homework links and support through the home reading program. New reading logs will be sent home on Monday with the students in their home reading bags. We're looking for more independence in organized writing tasks, neat handwriting, fluent & phrased reading, awareness of citizenship in the school, and math reasoning and problem solving.
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Petty
