Fundraiser is Due March 19, 2014!!!

Remember that Krispy Kreme orders are due Wednesday, March 19th by 8:00 a.m.  Please indicate on the orders whether they are boxes or certificates and have all the money organized and accounted for before sending it in.  Donut delivery will be on Wednesday, April 2nd.  All orders must be picked up by an adult on April 2nd between 6:00 and 7:30 a.m.  Orders will not be sent home with the students on the bus or car line.  Field trip balances will be sent home as soon as the fundraiser monies are accounted for.  Remember 22 boxes/certificates sold equals one child's trip to St. Augustine paid for!!!

Reading LIA

Please check your child's data sheet in their binder, we have updated them with the latest information.  Our class showed improvement on the Reading LIA that was given this week.  Many students received Wildcat Cash, and some have earned lunch with me.  Way to go!

This week we will begin FAIR testing; and the Math and Science LIA's will be the following week. Help your child set their goals high and encourage them to use their strategies!

Announcements!

Florida Writes went GREAT, I am so proud of each student that worked hard and put forth their best effort!  Scores should come back sometime in May.

We will be taking Reading LIA this upcoming week for the third time this year.  Please have a conversation with your child about their previous scores, on their data sheets in their binders, and help them set a goal.  Also, Early Release is Wednesday and the Krispy Kreme fundraiser information will go home on Friday, March 7th.

Check your child's planner, I sent home notices about AR points today.  They should have 7.0 points with at least an 85% average at this point in the nine weeks.  Please encourage them to keep reading.

Florida Writes is Tuesday!

Tuesday, the 25th, will be our day to SOAR to a FOUR or More!  Please make sure that your child comes to school well rested and feeling good.  It is important that they eat a good breakfast on Tuesday as well.  Remember breakfast and lunch are free to all students at our school, so please encourage them to stop by and see Ms. Julia in the cafeteria on Tuesday morning!

Florida Writes is fast approaching!

Please make sure that you are reviewing graded writing papers that are coming home weekly with your child.  Help them spice up their vocabulary, extend details, and create more complex sentences.  Also, help them developed their ideas on the nightly writing assignments.

Progress Reports went home today, please sign and return them on Tuesday.  Have a safe, long weekend!

Valentines Day is Coming!

Students can bring in Valentines and individually wrapped candy for their class mates on Friday, February 14th.  We will be doing a fun and edible Science experiment as our sweet treat!

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!
