After reviewing all student report cards, a theme seemed to surface from most teacher comments. The theme I found running through most comments was the development of goals for the upcoming Trimester Three. I have always believed that this final trimester of the school year offers the greatest opportunity for students to grow. New concepts are being introduced through projects and assignments that begin to emphasize learning through application.
Spring is just around the corner presenting a time for renewal.
The message I see coming from our staff is to interest our children in setting goals for personal academic growth over the final trimester. The idea of setting a goal in mathematics or reading or writing would definitely up student motivation and interest. If we put together learning through application and develop an interesting, achievable target, then I do believe our children will be very excited about the fantastic spring we have in store. Our student council and student body adopted Galen, a Kindergarten student living in the Bay Area. Bring a hard copy to the office and Mrs. Ingram will put it in my box.
