I have uploaded the calendar for next week to the website. I also wanted to let you know that we will be finishing our MAP testing on Monday morning. We had some technical difficulties on Wednesday morning, so we will finish on Monday.
We will also begin reading assessment next Friday afternoon. I will be pulling the students one-on-one and they will be tested on letter ID, sight words, writing, and reading text. After this is complete, we will begin our guided reading groups in class. These groups will challenge each student at their individual reading level. After we get started, your child will bring home a couple of books to practice each day. Thank you in advance for helping them practice reading these books.
Earlier this week your child brought home a book order form. This is completely optional!! If you would like to order books, please complete the order online or send it to me by next Friday, September 14. I will complete the order at that time and the books will be shipped to our classroom.
I also want to remind you that if you wish to order a school sack lunch for our upcoming field trip, we need the order by next Monday, September 10 so the cafeteria can order the supplies. If you plan to send a sack lunch from home, you do not need to return anything.
I also sent home a note and form about our Gambino's Pizza reading program. Please help your child do most of the reading. When they have read the 4 extra books, please fill out, sign, and return the form to school. I will send home the certificate for the free personal pizza. If you should loose the form, please just write down the books on a note, sign, and return it to school.
Thank you for all you do to support your child's learning at TES!! I hope you all have a great weekend!!
