I am awake this morning and feeling much better. I want to thank all the parents who noticed I was sick, again, and wished me a quick recovery. I want to encourage all of my parents to be extra diligent when observing your child's health this weekend. We have had multiple children in our class become physically ill and several children have been coughing. I spent three afternoons in bed overcoming a dry cough with no fever. Sleep and fluids are always important when we aren't feeling our best.
I know several parents are going to be surprised by our progress reports. As the year progresses I look for new ways to challenge all of my students. As expectations increase students who have become confident in their abilities discover that they need to refocus and become more diligent in their class work. I did not send any work home with the progress reports because over the next week I am going to sit down with each student, during class, and show them what they can do to improve their grades. They will bring their work home after their meeting with me and any work with a grade of 70% or below will require a parent signature.
