Monday's HW

Students will get an extra credit HE grade of a 100% if they bring in an example of fractions, decimals, & percents. This example needs to be able to be glued to our classroom poster. (Newspaper ads, food labels, receipts etc.). Reading logs this week are blue. They are due next Monday with 5 separate entries. An extra credit science assignment was given last week and is due Wednesday.

Fwd: Viewer's Guide: NC Schools and You...

I got this and thought parents might be interested in watching it too. 

Dear NC Educator, 

The  North Carolina Department of Public Instruction has partnered with UNC-TV to produce an hour-long program, North Carolina Schools and You: What Changes in Our Schools Mean for Parents and Students. This program will be broadcast twice on UNC-TV: once on Thursday, September 19, at 10 p.m., and again on Friday, September 27, at 4:30 p.m. Featured in the program are segments taped in local public and public charter schools and questions from a studio audience to State Superintendent June Atkinson, Chief Academic Officer Rebecca Garland and Deputy Academic Officer Angela Quick.

North Carolina Schools and You offers information and discussion around recent important changes in public schools and how parents can be more productively engaged in their children's success.  Specific topics include:

-       Teaching and Learning:  What Students Are Learning and How;

-       Measuring Performance:  New Assessments and Accountability Model; and

-       Parent Engagement:  How Parents Can Support Learning.

To enrich viewer's understanding about these topics, NCDPI has prepared the attached Viewer's Guide with additional background information and helpful links to supplement the program. We hope these materials are helpful to you and your team as you work with parents and community members to support student learning. 

Thank you!
