Important events this week:

On Wednesday, all third graders will take the Reading Ohio Achievement Assessment.  It is important that your child get a good night’s sleep, eat a hearty breakfast, and arrive to school on time. 

Please continue to access www.pearsonsuccessnet.com to review important reading skills and concepts.  Spelling words are located on the bottom of the Family Times letter and on this website:  http://www.westcler.org/wv/corotisd.  For additional spelling practice, you may wish to try http://www.spellingcity.com/.  Below are the reading categories you will find in Progress Book, as well as how each section of the weekly Reading Street test will affect your child’s grade: 

Ø      Vocabulary            20%
Ø      Phonics                20%

The Unit 1 math test was sent home on Friday.  Please review the test with your child and continue practicing math facts to improve fluency.  Interim reports will be sent home on Friday 10/7.  Remember that the first two reading tests were taken together and the third was taken independently. 

On Tuesday we will have our first Social Studies quiz covering the compass rose and citizenship traits.  A blue study guide was sent home, as well as an email containing the study guide as an attachment. 

As always, feel free to call or email with any questions! 

Have a good week!
