Varner Update: Oct. 22

Dear Parents,
   Although some students may try to convince you otherwise, report cards will be coming home this afternoon.  Please take time tonight to sit down with students and reflect on the start of their 5th grade year and give praise/constructive criticism as needed.  I encourage all students to develop 1-2 specific goals for the next marking period to help them continue to grow.  (EX: Begin studying for all math tests 1-2 days before test day)  Maybe even allow them to post the goals in their room so they see them nightly during homework time and remain focused and motivated?! 
Here are a few things to do & be aware of this week:
Report cards:
-Please have students complete the address on the front of the yellow envelope in pen (these are how you will receive your final report card for the year)
-Place a stamp on the envelope
-Sign the parent signature card inside the envelope
-Return UNSEALED envelope and signature card to school (report card and other documents can stay at home)
Book Fair:
-Our class is scheduled to preview the book fair on Wednesday to get ideas and cost estimates
-We will be purchasing books on Thursday
Tybee Island
-Reminder that all documents should be returned ASAP & total payment of $140.00 should be in by Oct. 26 (This Friday).
As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns about this info.  We do not have conferences for the 1st nine weeks, although we will gladly set a meeting up if you feel necessary.  Have a great week & thanks for your support.
Mr. Benzin & Mrs. Powell
