Just a quick message today to remind you of Dublin's Fun Run. Please remember to return your envelope with monies collected for the fund raiser. If you can't find the original envelope, just send it in a plain one labeled Fun Run. Also, it may be a good time to talk with your child about prize drawings and how not everyone wins a prize. Having said that, in past years there have been many prizes donated and a good percentage of children returning an envelope will win a prize.
Also, your child may share with you that we had a guest teacher in our classroom today. In Walled Lake schools we take many assessments on children's progress and are given a certain number of substitute teachers throughout the year to have the testing completed and/or checked and analyzed. However, even with 3 sub teacher dates it is not enough time to complete the testing. Therefore, you may read in our blog periods of time when I'll be doing testing (especially near the end of marking periods).Today kindergarten teachers were analyzing writing pieces. These assessments help us to guide our future lessons and give us information needed to individualize lessons for specific needs.
