Hello Parents,
Please go to the "Documents Manager" page of the website to see the Insect Project and Grading requirements.
Your child will be bringing a hard copy home tomorrow. We discussed the project today.
Thank you!!

Foreign Language Teachers
Good Morning Parents,
If you wish to contact our Spanish teacher, Ms. Martinez, you can reach her at ibolz@scholarsacademy.org
I'm so sorry, but I added a"t" to her name, so the previous email address I gave you is incorrect.
Our Chinese teacher is Ms. Liu. You can contact her at lxh928@gmail.com
(I think that is correct.)
Thanks much!

Weekly Update: August 29 - September 9
Good Morning Parents,
Thank you for logging onto this page!
The first few days of school were fun and exciting for me, and I hope your child feels the same way. It looks like we have a class of truly kind children. :-)
Thank you for returning the Student Information Sheets and Movie Permission Slips. Several parents have indicated that their students have severe allergies. If your child needs an epi-pen or other emergency medication, PLEASE make sure that I have it in my classroom!! I will be taking these medications out to recess and to all field trips.
Questions have arise regarding Spanish homework. Since I do not teach Spanish, I don't know the answers. Please contact Ms. Martinez directly with your concerns. You may email her at: iboltz@scholarsacademy.org
I did find out that students should write their Spanish homework answers in their Spanish spiral notebooks.
Your child should read every day, and fill out their Reading Record. Please sign this Record and return it to me on Mondays. It is part of their Literacy Grade.
Students have worked on a Math Assessment. Some completed the assessment, some didn't. I am working on placing students in appropriate math groups, based on this assessment. Students may be moved to a different group at any time, based upon their daily performance. This week, all students will work together to complete the last few lessons of their First Grade Math Book.
Here are some updates for the coming weeks:
Your child has completed the Spelling Assessment. Students were asked to spell 25 words, ranging in difficulty from "bed" to "opposition". Scores ranged from -1 to -19. I placed the students in three performance-based spelling groups. Students may be moved to a different group at any time, based upon their daily spelling and their weekly Language Tests. Language Tests will be given on Fridays, beginning this Friday, September 2. Students will learn a spelling rule, will work with words following that rule, and then will have to apply the rule to words on the Language Test. They will have to define the words, using their own words, in a complete sentence, with proper punctuation. They will also learn a word stem each week. On the Language Test, students will have to tell me what the stem means, use it in a word, and then define the word in a complete sentence, with proper punctuation.
On Tuesday, August 30, I will assign the Science Insect Project. Your child will be given a copy of the project and the grading rubric. I will also post these on the "Documents" page of this website. Please pay attention to the Due Dates. Also, PLEASE let your child do the project. You may assist him/her, but don't do the work for them.
Friday, September 2, is half day. Students will be dismissed at 11:25.
Monday, September 5, is the Labor Day Holiday. There is no school.
On Tuesday, September 6, your child's choice of insect is due for the Insect Project. If you child has not chosen an insect by this time, I will assign one.
Thursday, September 8, is "Teacher Talk", in my classroom, from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. At that time, I will try to explain our curriculum and various policies. I will also try to answer any questions you might have. I look forward to seeing you there!
I think that's all the news for now. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you might have. Thank you, and have great week!
