Hello! We are in our 6th week of school! I realized this weekend that I did not update my blog last week. It happens, and we just move forward!

This week is about establishing a baseline for reading comprehension through a brief assessment in our IXL program as well as reading and comprehending our class novel! I am loving the novels in each grade, and I hope your children are as well!

We will not have any tests this week, but students will begin working on their scene illustrations on Friday, and those will be a test grade next week. We are also learning about additional Fiction elements, so there will be a test over those next week as well! We are rocking and rolling!

Happy September! I hope everyone had a relaxing 3-day weekend!

My reading classes took a quiz on Friday, September 1. I wanted to make sure everyone was prepared for it, so we practiced our terms a little longer than I planned, but that is awesome! Better to learn it right than have to reteach it all year.

All Reading classes are starting their novels this week!!! This is my favorite part of the year because we start getting into applying our vocabulary, and we get to have thought-provoking discussions about the themes of the novels.

As usual, you child should be reading their library book or a novel from home 20 minutes a night and recording it in their blue Reading Log. They should have this in their Reading Folder.
