Updates December 12-16, 2011

We are still continuing this week with our mid-year assessments. On Monday students will write to a district writing prompt. On Tuesday students will take the F.A.I.R. assessment on the computer and on Wednesday students will retake the FCAT state practice test. Therefore students will not have spelling, vocabulary words or a reading selection this week. We will resume our regular routine when we return from Winter Break.

Reading
This week students will focus on the skill of following directions. They will continue to read and log in each night this week. As stated above there will not be any vocabulary words or selections story from the textbook. However students will have a skill test on following directions on Thursday, December 15.

Language
On Monday students will participate in a District writing prompt. The rest of the week they will continue to write their persuasive essay on the topic of their choice.


Spelling
There will not be a spelling list this week.

Friday will be our class winter party. Students are to bring in a food they like as part of our celebration. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday and New Year!!!

Until next time,
R. O'Steen
