September 7-11

Monday - No School - enjoy your Labor Day 

Tuesday - Reading Logs and agendas should be signed and ready to be checked
     (Reading Logs are in the front of the agenda and students should be recording at least 80 minutes of independent reading each week - I expect to see what they are reading and how long - parents only need to sign it once for the week)

Wednesday -

Thursday - SS ch 1 Geography Test (study guide and notes are on my website) - students can access videos of me explaining the text and concepts in their Google Classroom accounts - I will also be showing them how we can share the one student online textbook account we have and practice with the online tutorial

Friday - Science Quiz (see their journals) AND Unit 1 Investigations Math Quiz (study SAB pgs 1-24)

Students will continue to complete weekly in class activities (LA4Today, Spelling Sort/Definitions, Reading Group assignments,  Math4Today, etc).  These are graded activities that we review in class.  You can also go over them with your child at home (except for the LA4Today since it is in a class journal).  Most students are doing well with the activities in my subjects as we establish our procedures and expectations.  A few need to work on time management and quality of work rather than rushing to be finished.  This is a skill we will continue to work on over the next several weeks (and the remainder of the school year).

We will soon be taking our Beginning of the Year iReady Assessment.  iReady is replacing the MAP testing we've done in previous years.  We are learning about this new program and will keep you informed of your child's results and how they can use iReady resources at home and at school to help them improve throughout the school year.  Stay tuned for more about this topic!
