We have finished our Early Literacy Testing and now the students will begin to bring home books from our classroom library. Their AR book goes home every day in their folder and should return every day in their folder. We expect them to read the book at least 3 times (make sure they have comprehended the story) before they come to class and take their AR quiz. After they take their quiz they return their AR book and check out another book and the process repeats. The students will have an opportunity to take a quiz every day however, they are not expected to. It is their responsibility to know/decide if they are ready to take a quiz.
Star of the Week
We will begin our “Star of the Week” on October 3rd and run through November 18th. There will be 2-3 stars each week until everyone has had a turn. This special time for your child is meant to help them feel welcome and a part of our class. Thank you for the effort you put in to help make it special for them.
On the first day of your child’s “Star Week”:
Return the “All About Me” hot air balloon completed
You may include family photos
Make plans (for someone or yourself) to come in to read a story to the class.
You may do it first thing in the morning (right at 8:00, except Friday) or come after recess (12:00). Please email me which day/time of your child’s “week” would be best for you to come into our classroom. If these available times do not work with your schedule, please email me.

Each family is asked to complete volunteer hours to help our school. I know that it can be challenging with work schedules to volunteer during the school day. If you are interested in volunteer work that can be completed at home please let me know as I have several projects that can be completed at home and would be helpful to our class. Thank you!
