Interviews

Hello!

It was so lovely to meet all my parents, and discuss your child's progress.

If your child was with you during the interview, have them tell you what they are going to work on for the next few months.  If your child was not present, please tell them what we discussed, and how they can be doing better.

It is very important to set goals using the feedback I gave, and work towards improving the rest of the year.  Students should especially focus on learning skills, because when they get better, so do the academics.

Please continue to ask your child about school.  Avoid asking "What did you do today?", and ask specific questions like "What unit of math are you doing?  What did you learn about that today?  What problem did you solve and how?"

I look forward to guiding your child's learning the rest of the year. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns.

I'm Back!

Hello Students and parents of Room 204!

I'm back after two hospital stays and a confusing illness.  Hopefully, I will continue to get better and better. I am sorry that I missed some exciting things the past few weeks.

My supply teachers commented what a lovely and helpful class they were, so I am very proud of them.

Progress reports go home next Tuesday, November 13, and interviews are also that week.  I would like to see all parents so that we can discuss progress.  Remember that there are no grades on this report card.

We have about 7 weeks until the Winter Break, but we have a lot of work to do.  Please remind your children that they should be reading every day, and writing in their Writer's Notebooks at least twice a week.  Students are very behind on our 30 Book Challenge and their writing.

I look forward to meeting with you all next week.

Sincerely,

Ms. Bordonaro
