Updates October 8-12, 2012

We have now completed Theme 1 in our reading series.  This week we will have a week known as Monitoring Student Progress (MSP).  We have for the most part completed our beginning year baseline assessments also :-)  The students should be settling into the school routines and chugging right along.  If you have questions please let me know through a note in the planner or voice mail.  I will get back with you as quick as possible.


Reading
This week we will not have a story or vocabulary list.  Students will complete an in class activity reviewing and using the skills we focused on in theme 1: sequence, text organization and categorize and classify.  Ask your student what activity they worked on each day and what skill they were reviewing.

Language
This week students will continue to write their own Tall Tale.  Ask your student what their story is about. 

Spelling
Students will have a spelling list this week.  Spelling grades are coming up however students should study their spelling words nightly through the week.

Dates to remember

Until next time,
R. O'Steen
