Students ended today with our first LEADER IN ME assembly. As a class we wrote our mission statements and a few of our students read it to the entire school!  Also this week we put together our Leader In Me/data binders.  They have set NWEA Goals and wrote 3 things they can do to help themselves meet that goal. They also wrote a personal goal and the steps to take to meet that goal. They’ve set a spelling test goal and graphed their last two tests. Next week we will work on setting math test goals and graphing them as well as DRA Level reading goals.  Reading log has been sent home on the back of the behavior log, they are to fill out the date,  title of the book, and minutes read. You just have to check it and initial or sign the behavior side. I may be redesigning the behavior log so that it lasts longer because of the size of the reading log. Stay tuned….

We will begin checking books out this Tuesday in the Library.

I will be placing the book order on October 1st as our class will be receiving free classroom books if I wait until then.

Spelling words are posted on Friday under Spelling on the home page of my blog if you want to get started early with them.

It would be helpful if you could help them keep the “keep at home” side cleaned out once or twice a week so that organization is easier for them.

We will begin a new math unit next week. They have been writing a personal narrative and the goal is to publish it by the end of the week.

We have reserved the Detroit Science Center on November 2nd for our first field trip. A permission slip will be going home sometime in the next week or week and a half.

Weekend homework: practice tying shoes
