Our class is back to normal once again. CRCTs are completed and we are back to instruction with our regular schedule once again in place.
Progress Reports have gone home today. They are to be returned by Friday with a parent signature.
Homework: Progress Reports signed and returned Friday!
We will have tutoring tomorrow morning beginning at 8 a. m. Hope to see you tomorrow morning.
Come to Curriculum Night tonight and visit your team. Show your parents how our new Smart Technology is being used in your classrooms.
This week we will continue to build upon learning how to write paragraphs. We began yesterday with finding details in our "Invention" passages. Also today we read several comprehesion passages and worked on those.
We had a quiz yesterday on the parts of a paragraph.
This Friday we will have a vocabulary quiz on the words we made flash cards for last week. This will be in the SENTEO format.
We will also have tutoring this Friday for those who would like to attend.
Reading logs will be due on March 3 or this can be exempted if you come for tutoring on Friday.
Welcome back after our long break.
Today in class we began note taking for paragraphs. Handouts were given to each student and we will continue to review. If you were absent today, I'll give you the make-up work when you return. We will have a quiz on this information. Initially, I was planning it for this Friday but that may change due to the amount of absences in class today. I hope you all are feeling better! I'll post on the blog exactly what day the quiz will be tomorrow.
Since this is a short week, there will be no Wildcat tutoring on Friday.
Reading logs will not be due again until March 2. I'll hand out sheets for that next Monday.
This week we will continue to work in our Language! series. We are focusing more and more on writing at this point. We will continue to work on reading comprehension and fluency with a Reader's Theater about marial arts.
Reading logs will be due Wednesday, February 20. Remember Monday and Tuesday are holidays.
Reading logs will again be due on Monday, February 11, 2008 for a homework grade. This is your only homework to read 60 minutes per week. Please make sure you hand your log in with a parent signature to me on Monday.
This week we will read about the Hindenburg that relates to our Language! lesson using the word dirigible. We will also learn to write a beginning topic sentence and a conclusion sentence to paragraphs.
Please Note: I will not be able to tutor February 1. I'm sorry for this late notice but I have a meeting that I must attend. You may go to Mrs. Dean's room (she will come and get you) for tutoring. I will give you the same benefits attending her session as if you were to attend mine.
Good afternoon!
Homework logs will begin again this week. You should have received one in class today. They are to be turned in on Monday, February 4 for a homework grade.
Don't forget....Wildcat Tutoring for Reading starts this Friday, February 1. Be at school by 8 am to participate!
We have had a good start to the beginning of the New Year. We continue to work in our Language! curriculum and are working daily on comprehension activities. Our Smart Board has become a tool in the classroom that I can't imagine teaching a lesson without now. We use it everyday!
Conference week begins next week and times have been confirmed. I look forward to seeing those parents that I will be conferencing with next week. Please remember that school will dismiss at 2:15 all of next week and that Monday is the Martin Luther King holiday and we will not have school.
Parents: Please note that a permission slip has been sent home with your child to watch the movie Hoot
on Friday. Please indicate if your child may watch the movie and have your student return tomorrow.
