In Language Arts today the students went to the library for the first time! If students had their planners with them, they were allowed to check out a book. They should now be reading for 100 minutes every single week. I recommend that students read for 20 minutes per night for 5 nights each week. I WILL NOT be requiring students to keep a log of their reading. Instead, they are expected to read one book of their choosing per month and using that book to complete a One-Pager. This will be similar to the All About Me One-Pager the students are working on at home but instead of focusing on themselves, it will focus on the book they read. They will be required to turn in two One-Pagers the week before each marking period ends. I will be giving the directions for the first two One-Pagers by the end of the month.
The students also finished the Book Swap Activity from Friday during class today.
We will be NWEA testing for the next three days. For this reason, I will not be posting to the blog tomorrow. Students who finish early will be given time to work on their Language Arts homework.
Don’t forget to attend Open House on Wednesday! It starts at 6:00pm. Parents need to have a copy of their child’s schedule with them. Each of your children has written their schedule in their planner. You may bring your child’s planner with you that evening or take a picture of it on your phone and use that to get from one class to the other. If possible, please leave children at home since the seats in the classroom are limited. I look forward to meeting families on Wednesday!
Have a great evening!
