The benchmark scores are in and I am extremely pleased with the students' progress!! They have been working hard! We will continue to practice reading strategies and building stamina until the FCAT in April.
Reading
This week the students will read the story A Boy Called Slow. We will focus and practice drawing conclusions.
Students should still be reading and logging in each night with their Roal Dahl chapter book. Many groups are finishing their books and will receive a new title this week.
Writing
Students have been working hard on a book project which will enable them to have a hardbound book when they are finished. They are choosing their own genre and topic to write and taking it through the writing process all the way to sending it off to a publisher. The books will be presented on author's day in June.
Important dates:
Thursday March 24.......last day of the 3rd nine weeks
Friday March 25.......Teacher planning day-No School
Monday March 28-April 1 Spring Break
Monday April 4 .......Classes resume
Until next time,
R. O'Steen
