Don't forget to read!

AR notices went home in planners today!  Your child should have at least an 85% average and two AR points for this nine weeks.  By next Friday, your child should have three AR points.  Please make sure that your child is reading nightly.  Books should include fictional chapter books worth at least one AR point and nonfiction books worth 0.5 or more points.  Thank you for your support and helping our class achieve our GOALS!

A crazy week is behind us!

Everyone worked really hard on LIA testing this week!  I will be sharing results with the kids next week.  Please keep encouraging and helping your child incorporate specific details and "juicy" vocabulary in their writing!

Math and Science LIA Testing will be this upcoming week.

Please make sure that your child is well rested when they come to school this week.  We will be taking the Math and Science LIA #2 assessments throughout the week.  Please review your child's data sheet with them and help them set goals for these assessments.

Our class will be celebrating Literacy Week with some great Reading activities this week!  The "Million Minute Marathon", bookmark contest, community read aloud, and "Running to Read" to name just a few.  Ask your child how they participated in this weeks festivities.

Wednesday is early release and on Friday, AR/Honor Roll assemblies will be held in the multi-purpose room at 8:00 a.m.  There will also be no school on Monday, January 20th.
