Spring is a great time of year! A time of new beginnings and new hope. I love spring.
I found a new website. It's free and parents, you can join it too to help your readers improve.
www.readworks.org Great EOG concept lessons and activities all connected with the Standard Course of Study.
Our new garden looks fantastic out in the front of the school! It is beautiful already and it's not even finished.
Thursday, March 22 , and Friday, March 23rd are teacher workdays!
IEP report cards will be going home with your students' general education report cards next Friday.
I hope you all have a great week and join in the games at the Community Park this Tuesday after school with the different spring sports teams from 4:00 on.

Homework and Projects...HELP!
Tips from the Trenches!
So many students have trouble with organization and getting homework done! Wow! It is challenging to keep all those papers in the right folder or in the right place in a binder or accordian file. As you check the teachers' blogs with your children at the same time, it will help you, as well as, your children to acknowledge what has to be done and how long they have to do it.
Making a schedules on a 3x5 card of all the due dates and what is due, next to the date will help.
Another idea is printing out a calendar page from your Word-type program and then filling it in by hand or on the computer and then printing it out is also helpful. Using different colored highlighters for different subjects will draw your child's eye to the paper and help him/her refer to material due for each subject. Printing out the calendar in a color will help the student keep track of the paper and inserted in a plastic sleeve and clipped in a binder would be excellent:)
Packing up material the night before and going over the calendar each night will only be advantageous to you and your child.
Have a great week!
