Hello Walton Wildcats!
Welcome back to another full week of school! I am so excited
by the learning that I see students doing in several classes.
As we get into the full
swing of school, many of our students need our support. Please be mindful
to check your student’s agenda and to look over assignments if you are able. I
realize that as our students get older this can become more difficult, but I
have found that the more involved that I am as a teacher the better prepared my
students seem to become. Likewise the more involved the parents are the better
off the students are as well!
Almost every night a
student have some form of homework -30 minutes of reading homework or working on that
math spiral or studying hard for that next test. I find it especially important
to remember the basics. The basics are take time to read and discover, ask
questions, and look for the patterns in our lives.
I was recently reminded how all of
6th grade seemed to working on identity as a theme. Students in
science were making observations and inferences about their teacher, based on
their observations. In language arts students were reading and discussing how
each of us has an identity that makes us unique. In math, we have the identity
property!
This is a time of learning and
growth when our students are becoming more aware of how to navigate the middle
school years and how to balance work and play. I urge all of us to continue to
pay attention to how our role makes an impact on all of our students. We all need encouragement and reminders to
keep us on a positive track as the school year progresses! Be that word of encouragement
in your family and in our school. Please know that your interest and support is
welcome!
Sincerely,
Cheryl Knight
