Volunteer Opportunities:
We still desire volunteer help at Godley Station School. If you desire to read to a small group, tutor a small group or individual student; please email days that you are available. Additionally, we are attempting to build our class library . . . we would love for you to donate any unused or extra books, magazines, cookbooks, dictionaries, etc.
Communication Folders:
Students will bring home their blue Godley Station School communication folder each Wednesday. Please check the folder as it is the method used to communicate important school activities, dates, events, news, etc. Additionally, the folder will contain the students graded papers. Please review the papers, sign the cover sheets, and return them to school with students the next day.
Homework Agendas/Weekly Behavior Evaluation:
Students are going to receive a new homework agenda this week.The agenda contains two sections. One section is designated for homework and the other section is designed to communicate student behavior.
Students are responsible for writing their homework in the agenda daily. Parents please initial the homework agenda each night. The agenda will be sent home every Friday, and will contain information about the student's behavior during that week. It is imperative that students return the agenda every Monday; so that they can record their homework assignments.
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!
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.
Study Information:
The information below is listed here for students to independently or with a parent practice 2 digit by 2 digit and 3 digit by 2 digit multiplication.
