Monday

Hi! Sorry if you've been missing me! There hasn't been much to post lately other than Reading Log and study Spelling words for homework. Today, there are a few other important notes. Please check your child's yellow folder for information about Read Across America Day this Friday. Friday's reading quiz was returned today as well. Please note that if your child did not get a 4 on his/her open response/extended written response question, then they are expected to revise it (which means do it over adding necessary corrections, etc.) until it is a 4. As we approach the end of the school year, and state testing, it is very important that we train students in answering these types of questions. By making them do them until they get it right, hopefully they will begin to see what is required to achieve a 4 and start getting them the first time. This said, all open response questions that were not scored a 4 the first time (in any subject area) are required to be revised to a 4 within one week. So the ORQ on the test returned today (Loser chapters 8-16) must be completed by next Monday. Please encourage your child to stay "caught up" on these, so they don't end up swamped under a pile of revisions. Thanks for your help with this!
In other news, this Thursday is Giovanni's Spirit Night--YAHOO! Please support our school and eat at Giovanni's for lunch or dinner (or both) that day.
Tonight's homework, again, is:
Reading: LOG
Spelling: Study words
...and the Emotion Art assignment for Mrs. Lloyd is due on Friday.
Thanks and have a great night!
