Our BRIGHT Students!

 

Here you can find our weekly learning targets for our school subjects.  Your students should be writing these in their agendas, or "Learning Logs," every Monday.  Then, each day of the week, they rate themselves on a scale of 1-5 on how they feel they are accomplishing that target.  On Thursdays, I ask that they share these targets with you, and that is why I always ask for a parent signature on Thursday evenings.  (For more information regarding agendas and learning targets, please see the "This and That" page to the left!)  While we might (and frequently do) have daily or supporting targets, these are the overall targets that will be the focus of the week.  Be sure to check in with your kids and see what they are learning about!
