Students will not come to school on Monday, Feb. 8th due to training.

Fun Friday coming up!  Reading students will begin a story today called “Calling All Ducks” which is about making duck calls.  We will of course discuss Duck Dynasty!  Mrs. Rock has given fourth grade students permission to dress up in their camo on Friday while we also make duck calls.  We hope this will be a fun activity to go along with our reading passage!

Thank you to Mrs. Rock!

New Reading logs will be sent home on Tuesday and will be due back Feb. 1st.  Several students are receiving low grades due to lack of progress on their Reading logs.  Some students turn in Reading logs with nothing written on them.  They will be coming to tutoring time to read if they continue to turn in incomplete logs.

Thank you for your support and encouragement!

Remember READING LOGS are due Friday!!

Busy, busy, busy…

There are so many events this time of year it is hard to keep track of everything!  I wanted to post what is happening at school next week so everyone can put these things on their calendar.

Students are being rewarded for “jumping” on their common assessments!  They are rewarded for jumping 10 points and 20 points or more.  Please ask them if they are jumpers!  We love to celebrate success!!!

Parents please  ask students if they are filling in their reading logs that are due on Nov. 24th.  This is for a grade and is an easy 100 in the grade book.  Just read every night!  Several students have already turned their completed log in to me.

Next week, I will not assign vocabulary words but students will have a passage to complete and return by Friday, Nov. 20th.

Please remember to send can goods to school with your child for our food drive which will end on Nov. 20th.  This is a contest betweens grades so let’s win this thing!

Also, my Reading classes have taken home a turkey to “dress” and return.  Please have students finish those so we can display them before Thanksgiving!

Progress reports will go out next week, also.
