We had a great first two weeks of school. I passed out our books and labeled all of our materials and supplies. A big “Thank You” to the parents who donated wipes, tissues, and hand sanitizer. You ROCK!

On Tuesday, we started our NWEA testing. This testing is important for me so I can get some baseline data on the students (strengths, weaknesses, etc). The students took the Reading, Math, and Language tests.

Next week, we will be starting reading groups, math centers, working with dividing and multiplying with powers of 10, science experiments, reviewing about our government, as well as writing a narrative piece. We will also begin our bi-weekly spelling and vocabulary. The students will have two weeks to learn the spelling and definitions of 10 academic words. I will post the words separately so please be on the look for that!  

Reminder:

OPEN HOUSE:
Wednesday, September 11th ~ 6:00-7:30pm ( Room 237)
