Time is certainly going by fast this month! I have lots of random thoughts rolling around in my head today.
Over the last couple of weeks many of you have come in for parent/teacher conference. Thank you for spending this time connecting with your student's teacher and supporting them in their learning.
In the last couple of weeks I have been working with a group of 5th graders to plan our attendance celebrations for the year. The traveling trophy has started making its rounds to the class with the highest attendance for the week. The team also decided to celebrate the class with the highest attendance for the quarter. The class who wins for each quarter will get a special lunch celebration. Congratulations for Mrs. Brown's 4th grade class who won for first quarter with an average attendance of 97.9%. Several classes were close behind: Aho with 97.63%; Vann with 97.38%; Nasby with 97.24%; Goings with 97.04%.
Mrs. Brown's class will have a pizza party to celebrate.
This week have a couple of opportunities for you to get involved and be informed about IB. Thursday, November 17th from 4:00 - 5:00 we will begin a parent inquiry group. This study group will be exploring how students acquire a second language and ways we might expand our Spanish beyond the Spanish classroom. No reservations needed. Everyone is invited to come and learn with us. On Friday, November 18th we have Principal's Coffee. We have guests this month from the MYP program at Pipkin Middle School and Central High School. This will be a time of learning about the IB program past the elementary level. This is not just for parents of 5th graders and all parents are encouraged to attend and learn more about the future opportunities for their students.
Last, but certainly not least, thank you to everyone taking a part in the Days of Sharing. I encourage you to involve you student in the process as much as possible so they may gain that feeling of contributing to their community.
I hope your family is enjoying these beautiful fall days we have had this year.
Thanks again for your support of Field.
Dr. B
