Book Drive

Weekly Behavior Evaluation:
Some parents have expressed that they would much rather me communicate behavior weekly opposed to daily; which is more efficient at the time. Thus, I have decided that the homework agenda will only be designated for homework, and I will send home a weekly behavior sheet every Wednesday in the blue Godley Station Communication folder. I think this is more feasible. If you would prefer your son or daughter's behavior to be communicated daily; please let me know and I will continue sending theirs home in the daily agenda. Thanks in advance!!
School Supplies:
November 2, 2010 marked the beginning of the second marking period, and I am humbly asking that all students bring in 5 new 2 pocket folders with prongs (red (Reading/E.L.A), blue (Math), green (Science), Yellow (Social Studies), & Orange (health), as well as 2 composition or notebooks to be used as journals. Each color folder is used for a specific academic subject. Most of the students have a binder, and I am going to punch holes in their folders (if there the paper folders), and place them all in the binder. We are working on mastering organizational skills! I would like for students to get the new supplies as soon as possible, but at least by Friday, November 19, 2010 if possible. I would like for everyone to have them by the time we return from our Thanksgiving break. If you can't get the folders for some reason; please let me know! Thanks in advance!
Timed Test:
Students take a 4 minute timed test several times each week. All students started with addition timed test and will continue to move on to subtraction, multiplication, and division as they demonstrate mastery (95% correct out of 100). Students will receive a sticker on the math chart next to their name each time they achieve 95% or higher on their timed test.
