Weekly Letter

Hello everyone. I hope you had a good weekend.

This week I am changing a few things. I have found out that the students are not doing their homework. I believe they are confused and do not understand what they are to do daily. I am going to have them write the homework down each morning and have them put what they need in their binder in the correct places every morning. Homework is a very important part of school. First, it reviews what we have learned and allows them to practice. Second, it helps them learn responsibility. They have a job to do and they need to learn do it. They need to take it home, complete, and put it back in their binder to bring to school. This has been a difficult concept for many students in my class this year, so I am trying to fix the situation. Not doing homework is not an option. Students need to learn to study and to be responsible for these things. It is my job to help them get organized and to learn to study. I hope this helps this week. I will do this for a few weeks and if this does not work I will try something else. I will check their agenda daily and sign. Parents could you please check to make sure they did their homework and sign their agenda.

October is Family month at Fultondale. This means you can come to school on Fridays and teach the students something, read a book, or do something else. I will send home a form soon and you need to let me know what you would like to share with the students. I hope many of you are able to visit. This is a great opportunity for our students. I know you parents have many talents. I can not wait.

Parents thanks for all you are doing to help your student have a successful year.

You may email, or write a note as needed. My email address is troberts@jefcoed.com.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Roberts
