Week 5: From the class bloggers

September 17, 2021 Quinn and Nathan

This week we had our first confirmation class for the people that are doing

it. (Zion church members) Make sure to start getting donations for the

walk-a-thon if you are planning on it. Trunk-or- treat is going to be coming up

soon on October, 15. Mr. Maddick had a very good chapel service this week

and we really enjoyed it. Make sure to bring your chapel offering for next week's

chapel. That is about it for this week.

From Mrs. R.

We have been busy with tests and quizzes! We have a LONG FIRST QUARTER. If you have not been on Sycamore yet to check grades, think of doing that in the next week and help your child reflect on his or her progress. (Please give teachers until the school day ends on Monday to update scores from this week . Also please ask your child first about a particular grade before contacting me, as they likely have information about it. )

When Friday papers come home, encourage your child to pick the work they are most proud of and share with you why. Also look for something which they might set a goal: reading directions more carefully, studying vocabulary, asking questions in class, neater handwriting, taking an A.R. test. Every child grows at a different pace and we can celebrate the learning that takes place each day! Please don't hesitate to contact teachers with questions you may have. Waiting until our Oct. 28 conference at the end of the quarter is not ideal if we can address a question sooner!
