Seventy-Seventh Day

We took a writing assessment today. Exactly 50% of the students passed. After some follow-up instruction, those students not passing will be allowed to retake the exam before second reporting period unsatisfactory notices go home.

We have also begun testing fluency and comprehension for this reporting period. Students must read 45 wpm and pass a comprehension test, and read 108 sight words fluently in order to get a 3 on the next progress report.

Sixty-Third Day

Some students have begun to start their notes for their Unit Project.

You should find your child's progress report in your child's backpack. Do not sign and return this copy; it is yours to keep. If there are any questions concerning your child's report, either come see me after school or send a "contact" email. I will make sure to check the inbox regularly over the next few days.

For art we had a lesson on primary and secondary color and painting.

Final Reminder

Reading logs were due today. Students not having a total of 3 reading logs turned in by tomorrow will have '2' on their progress report in the area of homework.

Additionally, we had our first trip to the school library today. You will find either a library book in your child's backpack or a pink permission slip which needs to filled out completely in order for books to be checked out from school.

Also, if your child brings in one library book from an outside library (ie. Carson Public Library) they will receive a star on the star chart.
