Important events this week:
Picture Day Monday 9/26
Walk-a-Thon Friday 9/30
Like last week, we took the Unit 1 Week 2 reading test together. Next week students will take the assessment independently. Please review the reading tests that have been sent home to prepare your child for future assessments. Below are the categories you will find in Progress Book as well as how each section of the test will affect your child’s grade:
Ø Vocabulary 20%
Ø Phonics 20%
Ø Comprehension (multiple choice questions AND written response fall into this category) 50%
Ø Other 10
The Family Times newsletter is a great resource for review and also includes weekly spelling words. The Pearson Success Net Website (www.pearsonsuccessnet.com) is also a great tool. Students can access the weekly selection, vocabulary games, and much more. Our next story is Kumak’s Fish and we will be working on sequencing and visualizing.
The Unit 1 Math test is Monday. Each night students should read for 20 minutes and record the title of the book and total minutes read in their homework planners. Students receive credit for turning in math homework: 1 point for turning the assignment in on time, and 1 point for completion. Half credit will be given if the assignment is turned in the next day. Continue working on math facts as well.
Have a great week!
