MLK Break

I hope everyone is having a wonderful long weekend!  I have had a spa day, so I am a new woman!!:)

I want to update you on Reading and Language Arts/Writing plans.  Students were given their Spelling words on Monday and they are posted on the Language Arts page of this blog.  Students will get vocabulary words when they have vocabulary center.  As this is a review week, I think students will be able to use some support for the vocabulary test.  Most likely their foldable, but not totally sure yet:)

The test will be on Thursday, for both Reading and Spelling.  Just an FYI, Reading tests are always open book.  Students are able to refer back to the story throughout the test.  The only part they need to study is vocabulary.  I would suggest, however that you ask your child to bring their book home so that they can reread the story with you.  It is important that each student practice their fluency.

Remember the Theme 2 project and the book report; due dates are posted on the upcoming dates section of the blog.  Finally your child needs to take at least one test on a grade level appropriate book on book adventure by the end of January.  All students can register for this site, the link is in the links section. 

Please contact me if you have any questions!
