Week 20: January 5-8, 2016

Welcome Back! I want to thank all of my wonderful students for the kind (and funny) notes they left for me to find when I came back from my surgery. You are all so dear to me.
I hope all you had a wonderful Christmas holiday and are ready to get to work again.

This is going to be an easy, but important, week.

  • Students will go the library Tuesday and will be given a new resource information question on how to use an Atlas. 
  • Then, Wednesday - Friday students will complete the SAGE reading and writing interim test. This will give students a good feel for how they will be tested later this year and give them an opportunity to assess what they need to work on between now and that time. 
  • And finally, the trimester's 6th i-Read is due Friday, so please keep reading.
Also, I'd like to challenge students to read the i-Read equivalencies required for the 40-Club. This includes completely filling a bingo sheet + 4 additional books. Remember,  students will get a really cool T-shirt and be able to go on the 40-Club field trip later this spring. It's a great goal that will help ensure higher reading skills and a great love of reading.
