December 9 ~ BLOCK 3 & 4 Reading

Today students finished their Unit 3 post test.  Afterwards they worked on their summaries from the weekend and any missing work that they had.  

Homework:  Tomorrow is the last day to bring in book orders.  Don't forget to get your grade sheet signed, otherwise it will be a phone call home during reading class tomorrow.  Summary for Grandma Essie or The Paper Dragon (handprint style, don't forget you can use the hand as a plan but you still need to write a paragraph.)  

AR countdown ~ only 8 more days left to reach your goal.

December 6 ~ Reading - ALL Blocks

Today students took their Unit 3 post test.  After their test  they had to write a summary over one of their Unit stories.  They can choose Grandma Essie or The Paper Dragon.  Remember it needs to be hand print style.  That doesn't mean just trace your hand and fill it in.  You need to write a paragraph.  The hand can be used as a plan.  

Homework: ALL BLOCKS ~ Get your grade sheet signed.  Only 9 more days left to reach your AR goal and get on the 2nd quarter wall of fame.  You can do it!!!
