Veteran's Day at Lindbergh 2011

A Few Reminders From Miss Simmons… ☺

**Thank you for attending your child’s conference! It was great to chat with you!
**Remember to always check the Friday folders for information about current and future events at Lindbergh and around the community.
**2nd quarter is underway and the expectations of each student are getting higher and higher! Practice multiplication facts every night until they become natural!
**Continue to talk to your kiddo about their reading. We don't want any "fake" readers! Ask them questions about the characters and plot of their texts. They love to talk about their reading! If they can't tell you about their book, then they're not really reading!
**Thank you for everything you do!

It's hard to believe...

It's hard to believe that first quarter is almost over! The students have worked so hard and have already grown so much! I am so proud of the learning the students have done since August! We have been through many early-outs, lots of heat, and above all, lots of learning!
There are always so many great activities going on at Lindbergh, so continue to check those Friday folders for information about all the events happening at school!
Keep practicing multiplication facts. We are getting ready to start multiplying bigger numbers so we need everyone to become a "Multiplication Master!" Ask your student about the deal I just made with them...
See you soon!

It's Midterm Time!

The 1st Quarter Midterm Report is being sent home Friday, September 16. You will not find the normal Friday folder form to sign and return. The midterm report has all the academic information you need.

You will see your child's first set of grades for the first half of the 1st Quarter. Mid-term Reports are filled out so that you can see where your child is currently performing with specific objectives for each content area, and an overall grade is provided as well. There are still another 4 weeks left of 1st Quarter and plenty of time for improvement in all areas!

A specific objective that is not marked indicates that we have not covered it yet. We have not started our unit in Social Studies yet so a grade is not given. Areas of concern are checked in the BB (Below Basic) column. If an objective is checked within the Basic column, it indicates that your child is working towards understanding and mastering the skill, but is inconsistent with the skill. Proficient and/or Advanced is the ultimate goal for all students.

Please continue to help your child with homework and chat with him/her about school. I have loved every minute of getting to know your child! We have an awesome class this year! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Please sign and return the Midterm Report by Monday.

Thank you for supporting your child!

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE TO STAY!

It is so great to see the sun shining and hear the birds singing! The windows are open and we can see summer vacation on the horizon!

Students are starting to get squirmy to be outside, but we've still got a lot of learning and work to do. We have 2 district benchmarks this week! Homework will continue to come home, as well as, the at-home reading logs. Please be sure your child is reading. Spend the twenty minutes before bed reading together to squeeze it into your busy spring schedule.

Omaha Zoo field trip money is due this Friday. We need to pay both the bus company and the zoo, so please get your money turned in asap.

Enjoy the sunshine! Thanks for all you do!
