There is no Reading homework this week.  The students will be doing it in class with a group instead of at home.

Remind students to complete their Reading Log each night.  It is due March 2nd.

Also, remember President’s projects are due March 3rd.

Listed below are a few websites for students to find research on their president.

New Reading logs are coming home today.  They will be due March 2nd.

Reading homework is also coming home today.  It is due this Friday.

Remember decorated Valentine boxes/sacks and 22 Valentines need to be here Friday morning.  We will not have a party on Friday, but the kids will exchange cards and have a snack the last few minutes of the day.

Students need to have a decorated box or sack/22 Valentines at school by Thursday, Feb. 11th.

Social Studies Assignment due March 3rd.

Students will choose a president, research  and report on him on March 3rd.

Students have been given a note that gives them ideas/choices of how they can report to the class.  Some of the ideas are: book report, shoebox diorama, mobile, slide show, dress up as the character, make a movie, tri-fold board, pizza box, foldables, write a play, etc…

They are very excited about this assignment!!

Remember Reading homework is due on Thursday.  No recess on Friday if it is not turned in!!

Beginning February 1st, my Reading students will begin having a passage for homework that will come home on Mondays and will be due on Thursdays.  If they do not return it, they will miss recess on Friday and complete the homework then. This homework will resemble a STAAR passage.  Students will also bring home a strategy page that will help them work through the passage and help parents understand what will be expected of students on the STAAR.  PLEASE help your child with this homework, check over their answers, encourage them, and make sure they get it done. This practice is essential for their success on the test.

Thank you so much for your support!  You are a such an important part of their success at school!
