Well we have reached the middle of the last nine weeks. You should have seen a progress report brought home last Tuesday. We will be bringing the year to an end so students need to be sure they are listening for due dates and deadlines coming up. I note these on the board for students to copy into their planner. Please continue to check their planner daily for homework, dates and deadlines coming up for the end of the year.
Reading
Last week students took the F.A.I.R test for the final time. I look forward to seeing their progress from the beginning of the year. We will continue to read aloud The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and end with comparing the original written literature to the movie version. Students have been assigned a new chapter book they should be reading daily and keeping a timeline in their reading logs.
Language
We will continue our practice with cursive handwriting through the next several weeks. Students will need to practice at home to become fluent with this skill.
