Welcome Back!!! It is a gloomy Monday, but we are fired up and learning in our classroom.....

Content review is going on in math and reading this week.  There will be no spelling, Social Studies or scheduled group reading story this week.  However, we will be offering "Free Choice" for our reading story.  Your child will choose a story to read and test on for their AR story.  They will choose one from our old green readers.  They will be responsible for reading independently (during DEAR time), reading at home on Tuesday night, "Buddy Reading" on Wednesday, completing a story map and testing on it on Thursday.  Look for the book to come home tomorrow night.  Don't forget to write in your child's agenda that you read it with them on Tuesday!

Math:  Chart/Table ORQ
Social Studies: Reminder!!!!! Ky Folder is due this Friday.  Be sure to check your child's scoring guide attached to the folder to make sure they have all completed!
