Hello!
It's another short week! Friday is professional development day for teachers. I wanted to clarify a couple things: 1) Reading logs are due on Mondays. This week I wrote in the dates on their logs to show that they are supposed to be reading 20 minutes EACH night. They can't fill out the log for future dates. The log for that week is only available to print for that week. Let's help instill the importance of doing homework and turning it on time for Fun Friday. The new log going home is a bright neon green. It is do the 16th. I only had 5 kids have to miss fun friday, but the goal is zero. 2) You will see their first spelling, vocabulary and reading comprehension test go home. Spelling tests are worth 23 points total. 20 for words and 3 for the spelling dictation sentences. They have to have a capital, the spelling word spelled correctly and a period in order to get full credit. All or nothing! This will help them work on complete sentences throughout the year. We took their first comprehension test together. I wanted to show them good test taking skills and teach them how good readers go back into the story to find the answers. If they didn't get 100%, then maybe they weren't listening. 3) Their first book order is going home. They send me a free book for my classroom library with every online order. It is due on Friday. Books take a week to deliver. This week the focus is realistic fiction stories and focusing on the setting, characters and events. The essential question is, "How are families around the world the same and different?" Have a fabulous week! Comments are closed.
