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 Jordan

 

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.
