WELCOME!!!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Mr. McDowell's classroom blog. I am very excited to have a classroom webpage and I hope that you will find it useful. The purpose of this blog is to provide a convenient (and reliable) communication link between students, parents, the school and Mr. McDowell. I invite you to check this blog on a daily basis as I will be posting valuable information about the classroom and the school - including daily homework assignments, important dates, classroom/school news, etc.

For your convenience, you can also sign-up to receive "daily updates" from this blog that automatically gets sent to your email every day there is a new posting. Simply type in your email address into the 'submit' box found on the right side of this blog.

More importantly, if you ever have any questions or concerns about your son/ daughter, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone, email, or this blog:

Classroom News - March 20

YAHOO!!!  Term 2 Report Cards were handed out today.  I hope that there is a lot of conversation about the report cards over the weekend - conversations that are about your child's strengths, challenges and the improvements that are going to be made in Term 3.

Term 2 parent-teacher interviews are scheduled for next Tuesday, March 24 and Wednesday, March 25.  Information was sent home earlier this week with specific details about your date/time.  If you are unable to make the scheduled time, please contact me or the school ASAP.

Also, the annual MC Knoll Survivor event is just around the corner (Wednesday, April 1 and Thursday, April 2).  Two information items were sent out today (in the report cards) including:
- Survivor permission form and $30 fee (blue-colored form)
- Survivor dance form (beige-colored form)

If students are interested in volunteering to help out at the parent-teacher interviews - either working the book fair or babysitting - please let Mrs. Hall know by Monday, March 23!

Reminders:

- Tuesday, March 24 and Wednesday, March 25 is another wonderful MCK Book Fair!
