A Great Start!!!

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.
