I am out tomorrow for a personal day so I am posting the updates today!

First and most important- Coffee with the Director is on Wednesday, September 25th at 8:45 am! Sorry for the miscommunication I did not know it was wrong on my calendar.

This week we have FINISHED Iready and DRA reading level testing! Wahoooo! All of the kids did a great job doing their best. Starting in October book bags will be coming home with leveled books. They have an expectation of reading nightly!

We have had a great time measuring with cm cubes, rulers, meter sticks, arms, and hands! They are getting lots of partner work this week while measuring and its great to see them working in teams.

Benchmark begins on Monday! The spelling list is coming home tomorrow. The focus letter lets you know our theme, essential question, phonics, spelling words, and high frequency words. I will choose all 10 spelling words and 5 high frequency words for the Week 1 Spelling test that will be on Friday, September 27th! We will be practicing those in the classroom during our Montessori ELA worktimes.

For science we continued talking about Bengali Tigers and their habitats. This morning we did a comparison between there habitats and ours. You will see the bubble map coming home in todays folder.

The students will have Ms. D subbing again tomorrow and I hope the earn some stars for our reward jar while I am away!

Have a great weekend!
