Here are some important things for this week....
Literacy: I have added a Spelling center activity to complete by Monday. The students need to pick 3 different spelling activities from a Tic-Tac-Toe board. They will use their word study words for this activity. If students do not like their grade, they can fix their work and turn it back in for a better grade.
Writing: Small moment stories are due by Friday. If your child is not happy with their grade, they can fix it and turn it back in for a better grade.
Math: We will be finishing up chapter 2 this week. There will be a text next Friday, October 9, 2015.
Science: We have a vocabulary quiz over landforms on Tuesday and a test over all landforms concepts on Wednesday.
Reading logs are due by Thursday!

Weekly highlights.....
Literacy: Your child should be reading at home. Their goal is to read 420 minutes by the end of the month. Their reading logs will be due next week. We will continue to work in small reading groups to help develop skills at each student's level.
Writer's Workshop: We will continue with our small moment stories. Last week your child should have picked a particular small moment that they will want to publish.
Word Study: Today we will begin working in our small groups. Each group will be working on a different skill. Each day in school, they will have a different activity to do with these words. Every few weeks or so, the students will be tested on these skills to ensure retention.
Math: We started guided math groups last week and it went rather well. Students are grouped by ability, according to their pretest. Each day they will work in 2-3 different stations. They will also have homework that will come home today, that will be due on Friday.
Health: We will have a test over our "Community Safety" packet tomorrow. Students should bring their packets with them to school.
Picture Day is Wednesday!
Progress Reports were posted on Skyward on Friday. Please let me know if you have any questions.
