All Spelling will be done on our class iLearn Course. Students will sign up for the course in class today. They will have access to the spelling words, activities that must be completed by Friday. The test will be given every Friday on the iLearn Course. Parents can see their child’s score at home by having your child login to the course at home. Just go to dearbornschools.org and click on iLearn under Students.
Beginning this week, students must read at home for 30 minutes every night. Right now students may read any book of their choice. Reading bags will come home at the end of the month after we have completed our NWEA testing and I can place students in books at their current reading level. Students are expected to keep track of the number of minutes they have read each night and record it on their Weekly Reading Log sheet, which will be coming home today. At the end of the week, families must add together the total number of minutes read. The minimum total for the week is 150 minutes. Parents must sign and return the Weekly Reading Log every Monday. If a child does not return their Weekly Reading Log or does not have a parent signature on Monday, the student will walk the track as a consequence during recess for not being responsible.
Last Friday we took our Module 1 Topic A Math Quiz. These quizzes have been graded and are being sent home today. Go over the quiz with your child and review any mistakes they made on the quiz. There are no retakes on quizzes. We will have another quiz after we finish Topics B and C.
Reminder that this Thursday, September 12th is Open House from 6:00-7:30 p.m. Stop by room 8 to meet the teacher and see your child’s classroom and desk.
Students should be completed with their iReady Reading Diagnostic test by the end of today. Results will be passed out at Open House.
Our class will begin Reading NWEA testing Tuesday-Thursday of this week. Students will be encouraged to do their best work on this first NWEA test.
