Important Announcements:
*There will be no school on Monday, September 3rd
because of the Labor Day Holiday. I hope
you all enjoy a safe and fun-filled holiday weekend!
*Math tests were sent home Thursday. Part A is the part that is assessed for a
grade in the gradebook. Part B is graded
just to see how your child is progressing in those concepts. Mastery of Part B concepts are expected later
in the year.
*Since next week is a short week, we will be doing reader’s
theater plays in the classroom. Your
child’s reading homework will consist of him/her practicing his/her part
Tuesday evening. On Wednesday evening, I
will be sending home a rubric home where you rate how your child performs
his/her part. We do reader’s theater to
improve reading fluency and expression while reading.
*Today I am sending home a paper that has information about
how to register your child on www.xtramath.org. This is a website that helps with the mastery
of math facts. We watched a short video
about the website today during math. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
