Dear Families,
I hope that this
finds you all well! Finally, this week is a five day week! Friday will be
slightly out of the ordinary: if all goes well, we’ll earn our last marbles in
the next day or two and have a marble celebration Friday. Stay tuned for more
information as exciting plans develop!
We’re going to be
doing something a little differently regarding homework and reading: every
student will have at least one personal reading book that travels to and from
school every day. This allows me to keep an eye on what students are reading
(choosing texts that are neither too easy nor too challenging). Traveling to
and from school with a book also ensures that every student will have something
they’re interested in reading with them at all times.
Students, this
week for homework:
1) Find
and USE the plastic homework “folder”
that I gave you at the beginning of the school year. Students, please keep your
personal reading book safe in your plastic homework folder. Your folder and
your book must travel TO and FROM school with you EVERYDAY.
2)
Read! Everyday!
3) Think
and Write About What You Read
J
4) Math
Practice Pages (we’ll
practice fact families in class – pay attention!)
5) Read through the list of Book Bins (from
the class room) and circle 5 bins
where you think you might find books you would like.
Looking forward
to a great week together!
Emily
