***Today we took a NWEA screener (practice test) in MATH. On the post it note in your child’s folder it shows on top their score from when we took the test in November and on the bottom their score from TODAY!!! Almost everyone went up 🙂 :)– showing growth and progress in their math learning— I’m so proud of the way they took their time, focused, and tried their best using the strategies we have been practicing! Tomorrow we will take the NWEA screener (practice test) in READING. On Thursday, December 19th at 2:30-3:30 in the classroom we will have a Mandatory Parent Meeting to discuss NWEA screener reports and go over ways to prepare for the WINTER TESTING that will take place in January 2020 (Blue Note)—***Please make arrangements to attend this VERY IMPORTANT parent meeting!!**** Thank you!

3. READING GROUP BAG — BOOKS and fill in reading logs each day!!! Read and Re-read for fluency books to be ready to WRITE about our reading– work on letter sounds!!! (Also can you login code and password to read/listen to more books on the computer)
Please fill in log each day!!! Please use the pointer finger to put their finger under the first letter of each word as they read. Please read the book at least 3 times and sign the paper inside their bags so I know they did their job! Please send the reading bag back to school each day. ***IF YOU HAVE FLUENCY DOWN, PARENTS PLEASE EXTEND the reading by asking questions such as:
- Find the WORD “the” on this page.
- What LETTER/SOUND do you see/hear at the beginning of the WORD?
- What LETTER/SOUND do you see/hear at the middle of the WORD?
- What LETTER/SOUND do you see/hear at the end of the WORD?
- After reading, can you RETELL what happened?? What happened in the beginning, middle, and end?
- Over the Thanksgiving break fill out a Story Map which will be in their reading bag with their books. Please return with the signed log in their reading bags for reading groups.
