Our school year has started off very well. We have been very busy doing beginning of the year assessments and getting in the routine of things. Here are some updates on current happening in our classroom.
Accelerated Reader
Last week, students met with me to set AR goals. Each student has a goal of 8 points this nine weeks. Students should be reading books and taking AR tests. Please make sure your child is reading books and taking AR tests. Beginning this Friday, I will place a weekly update on each person's AR goals in their agendas. Please encourage your to work hard to achieve their AR goals.
Homework
Each night Monday thru Thursday students have homework. Math homework is turned in daily. Spelling homework and reading logs are due each Friday. Math homework is turned in in the red folder. Spelling and reading logs are turned in in the blue folder. My hope is to have a 100% of the class to turn in their homework. Please make sure that your child gets homework completed every night.
IXL
IXL is a math program that students can use to strengthen their math skills. I will be putting login in information in the front of each child's agenda. Students should log on and practice math skills at least an hour per week. Please make sure that students login and practice their math skills.

Davida Daniel Dyer Bio
Hello!!! My name is Davida Daniel Dyer. This year I have the privilege of being your child's teacher. Thank you for allowing me to spend time with your most precious gift. Here is a little info about me.
I am a native of Selma, AL. I come from a long line of educators who have instilled in me the value of hard work and the importance of education. This year, I begin my 16th year of teaching and am just excited now as I was the very first day of my very first year. I might be a little bit more excited as there are so many more resources and fun things to do now!! I have taught in Alabama, Texas, and Georgia.
I am married to Spencer Dyer. We have three wonderful children, Brooke 19, Justin 14, and Allawna 13. We live in Hiram, GA. As a family, we enjoy watching movies, eating out, shopping, playing video games, and going to car shows.
My birthday day is September 4. I personally enjoy shopping, watching movies, surfing the net, and spending time with friends and family. A few of my favorite things are the color purple, Starbucks' caramel fraps, brownies, tulips, and calla lilies.
I almost forgot one of the most important things of all- I am an Auburn fan!!!!! War Eagle!!!!!!!!
Homework
Tonight is the first night of homework in all areas. Students were given a spelling menu and list, a reading response sheet, and a math sheet. The reading response sheet and spelling menu are due on Friday. Math homework is due back each day. Please make sure that your child gets all homework completed. Thanks! :)
