Today was utilized for filling in the beloved report cards and IEP updates. That was interesting to say the least as I had some interesting conversations regarding the boys and some of the teachers who have them outside of my class. Essentially, everyone has different expectations of them and therefore, different grades resulted. I'd like to think that I'm now on the same page with everyone and that no longer will I get grades from them that I don't know already are coming. Basically, if I'm not expecting something other than an "S" or "S+", we should have already had a conversation, at least once, and I explained that they would be responsible for also informing the parents of this. Gone are the days of the homeroom teacher having to field all the questions, especially for classes that I don't attend!
On a sadder note, they stopped funding the book program that we've been utilizing at Weems. All those fun paper books that come home will most likely stop since there's no more funding of it. I'm still trying to find someone who has a working login or otherwise, I've been contemplating just paying the 85 dollar subscription fee. We'll see what happens.
We are tentatively all set up for our field trips. March, April and May. The pool, house of bounce and bowling (those are out of order). More information will come home as soon as I know that they are all sorts of approved.
We've finished our mid-year testing of PALs/DRA and I am happy to announce that ALL of our boys improved!!! I was really excited with their progress and know that we'll see even more come spring.
Other than that, nothing new and exciting has been happening.
Don't forget to wear your pjs inside out for some S-N-O-W!!! :-)
