December 19-20, 2016

This site will be updated weekly. You can also join Remind 101. The Remind 101 will be texted out when there is a change of schedule or an important event coming up. I will not send out daily homework reminders. Homework for each class will be written on the board. All students need to write this down each day.

Thank you so much to Mrs. Fortner who helped us organize and participated in our wonderful field trip to Greenville. I know the children learned a lot and had a great time!

***We are working on MOBY MAX. We will continue to do this. We are working on reading and English skills using Moby Max. This is a Web Based program that can also be utilized at home. Please encourage your child to practice with Moby Max at home.

On Tuesday, October 11th, your child was given his/her new AR goal. Information on this went home with each child. Please make sure your child is reading. AR grades will be recorded on December 16th. Your child is given time each day to read, but he/she must also read at home.

English - This week we will continuechapter 10. We will learn how to identify and use contractions and homonyms correctly. We will also begin writing a paper containing dialogue. The final paper will be due after the break. I've taken up the rough drafts and revised copies so nothing gets lost. I'll pass these back out after the break, work with the students one-on-one and assign a date for the final paper sometime the second week of January.

We will NOT have spelling words this week due to nine weeks testing.

Have a wonderful week!!!
