Well, I hope everyone had a nice holiday! The students have come back and ready to work!
We have just finalized the grades for the second nine weeks and started collecting grades for the third. This marks the mid year point. We will be finishing up Unit 3 in our reading series with the Unit three test next week. Students will at that time turn in their current reading book and be issued a new reading text with units 4, 5, and 6.
Please be sure your child is still reading and logging in every night for homework. You should also see vocabulary definitions and questions answered at the end of each story being completed for homework throughout the week.
The FCAT is coming soon and I will be preparing students by working with small groups in the classroom and assigning homework practice packets.
In writing we will be moving to the Informational Standard next week. You should see your child reading a book on a topic they have chosen to write a report on. This report will be written and completed in class.
I can't repeat and stress enough...the way to become a better reader is to read! Please ask your child what they are focusing on in class in reading and what their chapter book is about. This lets you know if they are paying attention in class and will make them think about what they are reading.
