providing longer reading periods

•  Buy a journal of your child’s choice and have them write in it

regularly

Junior Achievement

We will be going to JA Biztown which is a place where students can

experience the adult working world. Students will have the opportunity to

run or work in a business. They will be given job titles such as CEO,

CFO, Town Mayor, Bank Teller, Sales Associate, Newscaster, and Radio

Host just to name a few.

Students will learn the basics of our countries financial structure as well as

how to open and maintain a bank account. Students will master how to

write a check, fill out a register, deposit funds, and use of a ATM bank card.

During the day students will work a “real” business day. They will have two

breaks. One will be for lunch and the other can be for shopping in the

other stores. There are over 25 businesses to keep the students engaged.

We will be asking for parent volunteers for this trip. The

date is Wednesday, May 11

Home & School Correlation

Research provides convincing evidence that parents are an important influence in helping their children achieve high academic standards.

•  Red folder – review class assignments

•  Check your child’s daily planner.

• Keyboarding homework skills should be worked on nightly!

• Students should write from stories that they have read citing

evidence from the text. This could also be done as a family with newspapers and magazines citing from articles.
