Information!!! October 27-31

Good evening!

Yellow folders went home on Friday with graded papers included inside of them.  Please sign and send back.

Also last week student's received reading logs for our 80 minute a week AR reading for the Book It program.  If students read each night of last week for 20 minutes a night Monday-Thursday nights, and read this week Monday-Thursday for 20 minutes a night, and bring their reading logs Friday Oct. 31 to turn in they will receive a free personal pan pizza coupon as part of the Book It reading program through Pizza Hut.  They also earn a 100 homework grade for completing the log.

This week is also Red Ribbon Week!  Tomorrow is Wear Red day!  Stay tuned for further postings about what students will dress up like the rest of the week.

This week in class we will continue to work on TEKS 4.11C which includes Cause and Effect and Sequencing.  Students seemed to struggle with these two skills last week so we are taking the time to go over them again to make certain they are prepared for these types of questions on the STAAR test.

We are also working on Guided Reading and Literacy Circles.  Students are really eager to work on their leveled novels and I love hearing them read!

One more thing to be looking for... I am currently attending graduate school to receive my Masters in Educational Leadership.  As part of my master's completion I am studying the effects of technology in the classroom.  I will be posting a survey as well as sending home a paper copy for you parents this week to fill out.  They are anonymous and are simply asking for your opinion of technology in the classroom and how it helps you.  Please take the time to fill this out if you can so I assess the effectiveness of all of the technology I have been implementing.  I would appreciate it very much!

Once again I thank you all for all that you do and for the great kiddos you let me borrow every day! :)
