Monday, November 5

What a great day to be a teacher at Needham!  If you have not yet heard the great news, Needham is now officially an A school!  A huge thanks goes to all the students who worked so hard and all the parents that supported them!  Hard work pays off!!

Speaking of hard work, I am so proud of the progress I have seen in independent reading.  Students are pushing their Lexile levels up, and successfully completing books.  Once again, thank you for all your support at home! Please keep asking those questions:

What book are they reading?  What Lexile level is it? When is their goal date for finishing and quizzing on the book? What is the book about? What is the setting of the book?  Who is in the book? Have they made any connections to the book?What do they think will happen next in the book?   Are they having trouble visualizing any parts of the book?

Tonight for homework students have are supposed to finish and study their Lesson 6-7 packet.  This information will be a big part of their Week 13 Assessment.  They just need to know the meaning for this week's test.

Please note:  A Parent/Teacher conference time has been scheduled for each student.  I honored all request that were sent in.  Every student in bringing home a confirmation slip this evening.  Please review and sign the slip.  You may keep the top part as a reminder.  Please return the bottom portion to school tomorrow.

*** It has just been brought to my attention that the slips say AM .  There are no morning conferences.  All conferences should say PM! I am sorry for the confusion and look forward to seeing you in the AFTERNOON/EVENING of your scheduled conference day.***
