Cardinal Chatter

Thanks you SO much thinking of me during teacher appreciation week! I am so blessed to be your child’s teacher this year. It has truly been an honor to serve your families, and students as they learn about their Lord and Savior. Thank you to our drivers who drove to Tulsa today so that we may celebrate making their AR goals and end of the school year at the Gathering Place. The end of the year is right around the corner; please help the kids to be the best they can be to finish the year up strong as we are definitely 5th graders in training! Some are taking to this challenge very well. Make sure we are not going to summer break too early. I am always here for a conversation for student success. Blessing as we focus on Christ and the blessings He has given to us.

FRIDAY LETTER SPECIAL NOTE:

As we start off the new calendar year please remember keys to success for a positive school year
Help the kids to be in the full swing of school, as we prepare to be fifth graders! This is especially true for work to be turned in a timely manner. It can be tough to get back into routine after a break. The third late assignment each week, a detention is given according to school policy. Some get VERY close weekly. Planners & Fast Direct are the best tools to help.

A great way to do this is to ask the kids what questions they asked in school that day.:

- Taking work home to have other eyes look at simple mistakes
- Taking graded work home
- Using planners & Fast Direct
- Taking Friday Letters and school Chatters home for information
- Paying attention and focusing in class
- Studying at home for tests
- Turing work in on time
- Reading for AR at home uninterrupted

Here is the 05 03 2024 Friday Letter.
