Spring has sprung and the students are energized and ready to get out and do new things!  We have begun a project in the learning center that includes teaching about character traits while using technology! 

(This is a letter that was sent home this week)

Dear parent(s)/guardian(s):

We have started a video project in the learning center!  The students are in small groups creating skits teaching about character traits (responsibility, fairness, respect, trustworthiness, citizenship or caring).  We will be filming the students’ skits and creating short videos to share with our class and possibly future students.  If youDO NOTwant your student to participate in the filming please sign the slip below and return it to Mrs. Bowman by April 20^th.  Opting out of the filming will not affect your student’s grade; they will be given an alternate assignment.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this assignment, please feel free to contact any of the teachers in the learning center. 530-741-6194.

Thank you for sharing your students with us!

Only sign and return if you DO NOTwant your student to participate!

Grading Structure!

Students are responsible for keeping a “reflection sheet” which is their grading document for class.  The sheet is broken into 4 categories:

· Prepared ~ 20%

· Behavior ~ 40%

· Binder Check ~ 20%

· Assignments ~ 20%

The students are also responsible for getting their reflection sheet initialed every day by a teacher in the classroom.
