12/19/10 - 6th Grade Math Information

6th Grade Math Information
Please read the note that came home Friday. Frequently Asked Questions:

Does my student have to take the test?
No. This is another way to gather data in order for teachers to make
recommendations and parents to make decisions.

My student scored an 84, can she take the test?
Yes. The 85 number is a guide. The ICCSD believes that score has
been a good guideline for whether or not a student should take the test or
be in the pre-algebra class.
The ICCSD also believes that there are exceptions based on factors such as
work ethic.
Furthermore, the ICCSD will respect the wishes of a parent who wants to
sign up their student for pre-algebra, regardless of testing results or
teacher recommendations.

If my student does not take Pre-algebra next, what class will he/she
take?
The vast majority of students will take Math 7. Some will take pre-algebra,
and some will take math 7A.
In January, representatives from South East Junior High will come to Lemme
and talk about all the various options relating to registering for classes. At
that time, you will get two forms: a general registration form and a
registration form specifically for choosing a math class.

What if I lost the pre-algebra testing form?
You can email me, or contact me some other way to let me know. The
sooner the better, but the actual testing will be around the 10th of January.

What if I just totally forgot about the form?
The teachers and I will decide if your student should take the test. There is
no penalty or punishment or any such nonsense!

What is the test like?
It is a test created by the ICCSD, and it is ITBS-like in format. It will be
administered in 2 one-hour blocks, sometime around 1/10/11. We will let
you know when we have figured out a time.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Mr. Balke

12/8/10 - Thanks, Holiday Treats

Thanks
I wanted to write this around Thanksgiving; better late than never!

Thank you for the opportunity to work with your young students! It was enjoyable to meet with everyone at conferences and talk about your fine young scholars. I am humbled and fortunate to be able to teach in this great school!

Holiday Treats
Believe it or not, I occasionally get some gifts around this time of year. I don't expect any gifts, because it is reward enough to simply be teaching here! But I have only one request: no tree nuts and no milk products!!!! My family and I have gone through a round of allergy testing and those are things we have to be on the watch for! Even though I love cheese, those days are gone now! I will suffer through certain things such as lasagna and pizza!! Do not feel even a speck of pressure to get me a gift!

Have a tranquil evening,
Mr. Balke

10/25/10 - Halloween, Conference Reminders

Halloween
We are having the traditional Lemme Halloween festivities Friday. Here's what you need to know:

Parade is at 2:00.
Party is afterward.
Students will put on their suits right before the parade. Do not have students wear suits all day!
Choose appropriate outfits. A guideline that I have heard in the past is "Don't wear anything that would scare a kindergartener." I would add to that, "Don't wear anything that would scare a teacher/parent/grandma!" Use common sense - this is not the time to be "edgy"; save that for outside of school. Don't show a lot of skin. Resist the urge to be gruesome. You may not bring weapons. Think about whether your outfit would be offensive.

Conference Reminders - Second round
Look for small pieces of paper coming home tonight. Let me know if there are any problems.

Have a peaceful evening,
Mr. Balke
