Reading Responses

Students will be getting more information regarding reading responses.  We are currently waiting for copies.  However, in the meantime,  there is a link to the right under that ELA tab that outlines all of the reading expectations for the year.  Students should be reading thirty minutes every night and two reading responses are due by Friday, October 11th, which is the midpoint of the first trimester.

Four reading responses are due per trimester.  Two by the midpoint and two towards the end.

Updates

The Lost and Found area in the cafeteria is overflowing with items.  If your child has lost a jacket, gloves, or just about anything, it is more than likely in that pile.  Please encourage your child to seek out their lost items.

The final two book responses for the year are due BY June 7th.

We are in desperate need of tissues as we are on our last box.  Please consider donating.

Thank you all for the teacher appreciation spoiling last week.  It is so nice to feel appreciated 😊

Thank you :)

Week of April 8th

The Good News....Your kids will be excited to know that they will not have a Word of the Week due this week, nor will they have a vocabulary quiz on Friday.

Other News... I have strongly suggested to students that they try and complete one reading response before April vacation to keep with the timeline of due dates.  Two total responses are due by May 1st, but that will come up very quickly after April vacation.  Please encourage them to do so as a practice in time management.

As a reminder ELA RICAS testing is this week.  Students will take session one on Wednesday, April  10th and session two will take place on Thursday, April 11th. 

On a final note, we still could use some tissues as season allergy is beginning to strike!

Thank you and enjoy today's sunshine.

WE NEED TISSUES!!!!

We are heading into allergy season and we have NO tissues left in class.  If you have an extra box at home, we could really use them.  Thank you in advance for your generosity!  Our noses appreciate it :)
