September 18-22

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!
