I can't believe we have already completed three weeks of school. The weeks have been good ones for me, and I hope for your child. We have ten students who have passed through the 9's on the one minute quizzes. Fourteen have completed the five-minute addition test with 90% or better. Our goal is to have all 25 achieve 90% or better in the next couple of weeks.
Many children have been taking the Reading Counts quizzes. Ask your child how many he/she has completed. The goal is one a week.
Friday, September 11th, we will have a convocation at 9:30 in the gym. We are also doing the Dog Jog during our special classes. My class will be walking/jogging laps from 11:05-11:45. The time is different because the convocation is during our special class time. You are welcome to come walk or watch!
Also, I am planning on introducing cursive this year. I may not spend as much time as in the past, but the children will learn how to form the letters correctly and write words. If you think your child needs more practice, I have materials to send home if you wish.
Have a wonderful, long weekend!
