Week 7 Schedule and Update

I was really proud of my students this week as they worked hard to learn Parts of Speech and almost 100% of student turned their book reports in on time. Yay!  I'm diligently grading this weekend and will hand book reports back on Monday and Tuesday of the upcoming week.  Several of the students received low scores on their reports because they did not follow instructions.  However, any student who wishes can revise their book report and hand it in for a higher grade by the end of the week. I really want them to succeed and I am more than happy to grade again and raise scores.

Please remind your child to do their weekly reading at home (30 mins. a day x 5 days a week) and sign (just once per week is fine) on their blue reading sheet that they glue inside their planner.  Practicing reading is essential to improving fluency and comprehension, so keep encouraging them to read.

The following students will have Utah-in-the-News this week.  They need to print/cut-out an article that happened in Utah and summarize it in their own words on the sheet I will give them.  They will present in front of the class on the following Friday.  If they are not prepared, they will need to do another report.
