Team Jordan Update
Dear
Families,
It was an
absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to discuss your child’s
progress. I enjoy working with your
child each day. It was so nice to be able to hear how your child feels about
school. As a parent, I hope that my children have teachers who understand and
appreciate them for who they are as individuals. One parent said to me, I want my
child to do well academically, but more importantly, I want her to be a good
person. I can honestly say that all of
the children on Team Jordan are good people.
They learn from their mistakes, take risks in their learning, and care
for one another. I hope that each of you
left our meeting feeling confident about your child’s social and emotional
progress. Please know
that I appreciate all the work you do as parents. Your work is what prepares them for learning. I thank you for your continued support as we
begin the last trimester. Please read on
to find out about an exciting project that your child will be working on.
Fondly,
Maureen

Upcoming Research
Project
Next week, the children
will begin researching a topic of their own choosing. The topics can be anything from a specific animal,
athlete, president, scientist, author, insect, or even a planet. I just ask
that they do not pick a topic that they have already researched. We have discussed this assignment so that
children should understand the expectations. They will get to look at our
school library on Wednesday so hopefully they will be able to narrow down their
topics before that day.
We will do all of the “work”
at school. If your child cannot find
resources here at school please check the Topsfield Library. All resources must be in school by next
Monday. If your child can’t find
information, he/she should choose a different topic. Please help your child pick a topic by
Monday, March 24th. Also if using
additional information from home such as any books or articles please send them
in to school by Monday. Please do not
send in resources that your child can’t read or understand. If you have any questions, please email me.
***************************************************************
A reminder for my players!

assigned tonight or tomorrow night.
Please pack an extra

Get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast!
You can do it!

March Update
Hi Families,
I just want to remind everyone of a few important dates this month.
*Report cards will be sent home on Monday.
*Conferences will be held on March 13th and 14th. Both these days are 12:00 dismissals.
*MCAS Practice will be on March 12th.
*MCAS Testing will be on March 18th & 19th.
It is essential that children get a good night sleep and eat a healthy breakfast on testing days. Also I would like children to bring in an extra snack if possible. I will allow children to eat prior to the test. Children will still have snack time later in the day, but I have found that the extra snack helps.
I will send home another reminder with the children when the dates get closer.
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your child's progress. The second trimester is a busy and exciting time. Unfortunately, our meeting times are short. Please come prepared with any questions you might have regarding your child's progress. You can also email me in advance so that I can be prepared to answer your questions thoroughly.
Please ask your child what he or she knows about blogging. We have done a lot of work to establish guidelines for your child to follow. Your child is bringing home a checklist for commenting and blogging. Please help them find a safe place to keep this tool. It will help reduce the number of posts and comments that will not be published. That being said, I am very proud of the thoughtful work that children are posting.
As always, I thank you for your support. I truly enjoy teaching your children. They are amazing team players!
Fondly,
Mrs. Jordan
