Important Message from Mr. Keefe and Mrs. Oldenkamp
Vision Family,
Due to unforeseen family circumstances, I will not be at school so my main attention will be on my family at this time.
Thank you for your understanding,
Tyler Keefe

We can support him during this time of leave by keeping the classroom "business as usual." He will still be directing the instruction, lesson planning, and grading student work in addition to communicating with parents via email, and Edmodo. During this leave of absence, Mrs. Bingham will be stepping in as the substitute for the month of December.
Mrs. Bingham was a substitute for Middleton in all grade levels prior to being hired by Vision Charter School. Over the last four years, Mrs. Bingham has worked for Vision Charter School in the role of substitute and educational assistant. She has worked very closely with 7th-12th grade teachers to ensure the highest level of growth and learning in the ELA department. She has also been a title 1 tutor in reading and math in the intermediate and secondary grade levels. Mrs. Bingham is pursuing her teaching certificate and is in her final semester prior to student teaching. It is her desire to teach at Vision Charter School in fourth through eighth grade in the future. Her favorite subjects are math, reading, language arts, and social studies! She is the mother of four children, two of which attend Vision in first and fourth grade.
Mrs. Bingham will be working closely with Mr. Keefe, Mr. Casey Boothby, and Mrs. George to ensure continuity in the quality and level of instruction your children are currently receiving. Your kids will be seeing a lot of Mr. Boothby as he will be in the room training Mrs. Bingham next week on all the amazing technology that Mr. Keefe uses! Mrs. Burton will be in the room frequently throughout the next few weeks training Mrs. Bingham in the specific learning needs of individual students and supporting the transition in the position of Administrative Intern and Special Ed Director.
In order to keep everyone in the loop, please include both Mrs. Bingham and Mr. Keefe in any e-mail correspondence. Mrs. Bingham's e-mail is: mattiebingham@visioncsd.org
I feel confident that your children will be in great hands during Mr. Keefe's absence. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Wendy OldenKamp
K-12 Principal & Charter Administrator Vision Charter School

December
We have entered December when things are fun and exciting and yet a little busy. The end of the semester is December 20th so we will be trying to finish up units and projects the best we can before then.
Students have a test on adjectives and adverbs tomorrow. Students had the opportunity to take a practice test on No Red Ink this week to see where they may have had weaknesses. Hopefully they all took that opportunity. Next week they will have their first spelling test on homophones. Students have been creating a list of as many homophones as they can find. They are also creating clues to help them remember the meanings.
Students completed the setting section of their story and I was impressed with the use of adjectives and adverbs to describe the location of their story.
We have a lot going on. We are preparing to be at the halfway point in the year where students are closer to being 7th graders. Students should be comfortable with the schedule and the expectations of 6th grade.
Friday, the 9th is our last Free Learn Friday before report cards. Friday, the 16th is our end of the quarter party. I will send more information about that as we get closer.
I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving with your family and are enjoying this time of year even though we are all a bit chilly.

Thanksgiving
I am proud of how hard students have been working over the past couple of days. They have earned a nice break. I am not assigning any work that is due upon students' return from Thanksgiving break.
Some students may still have a few missing assignments to complete or assignments they didn't complete that were due today. There are extra credit opportunities posted in each of my classes if students would like to take the time to do them. The due date for them is December 9th, just before the end of the semester. The assignments are intended to help students whose scores are low, they are also skills students must know.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
