Changes

Due to excessively high numbers in the 5th and 6th grade classes I will now be teaching a 5/6 split to lower class numbers.  It was a joy to meet each first grader this last week and I wish you the best upcoming year with the fabulous new teacher!

TESTING APPOINTMENTS

A letter has been mailed to you with your child's time and day to be tested.  The letter will arrive in a bright GREEN envelope.  Please come to the appointment on time and with no siblings.  

TESTING APPOINTMENT

Mr. Rencher has arranged for me to test your child’s current reading level by administering the DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment) and basic math skills.  The test will last approximately 20 minutes.  The results from the test will assist me to start instruction at your child’s level the day school begins.  I look forward to getting to know your child personally before we meet as a whole class. 

Your child __________________________ will meet with me on ___________________ at __________________ in room 126.

It is very important for you to keep this appointment and to be on time!

Also, please make arrangements to come without siblings to lessen distractions and allow me to make a more accurate assessment of your child’s current reading and math abilities. 

                                                        See you soon,

                                                                             Mrs. Goff

Are you in my upcoming first grade class?  Here is a hint at who is in my class.  I am so excited to see all of you soon! 

READY OR NOT, FIRST GRADE HERE I COME!

You read correctly I am moving across the school to 1st grade.  I am excited to learn and grow along with the kindergarteners I taught last year during target time, PE, and art.  I have been attending literacy classes the last three days to better know how to teach my future first graders.  I have learned there are differences between sixth graders and first graders for sure, but teaching is still teaching and I plan to give it my all.  

FINAL Grades Posted

All assignments have been entered along with the extra credit. 

DANCE FESTIVAL CLOTHING

The dance festival will start and end with the 6th grade performing.  The first dance is a folk dance, please have your child wear blue jeans and a white t-shirt.  Our second dance is Thriller.  Students are strongly encouraged to dress up like zombies for this performance.  Some students are wearing old Halloween costumes, others are finding old worn out clothes and adding further tears, it would be awesome if most of the kids could wear white make up on their face with blacked out eyes.  Whatever is chosen by you for your child to wear please make sure that they can change into it quickly.  Students will only have 5 minutes to change!  Thanks for all your help in making this a dance festival to remember.

Final Grades and Dance Festival

Last Wednesday every student took home a progress report to be signed by a parent/guardian.  All grades have been entered into skyward.  The only item left to enter is the movie night extra credit. 

For dance festival we are dancing two dances.  The first dance our folk dance, it is suggested that students wear a white t-shirt and blue jeans.  The second dance, we are dancing to Thriller.  For this dance students are encouraged to dress like zombies, no blood though.  Students will only have 5 minutes to change in between the routines so zombie outfits need to be easy to get in and out of.
