Week 18 Update and Schedule


Whew!  It's been a busy week with Personal Narrative writing, Book Reports & STAR Testing but I am very pleased at how students are working hard and giving 100% to do their best.

Some important information to take note of:

  • Book Orders are due (online) by December 10th.  See the previous post.  It's easy, just click the link and go directly to Scholastic.  You will receive a voucher for a free book for placing an order.
  • The Personal Narrative Packet is DUE on December 12th.
  • Note the next unit is a Persuasive Letter written to Santa which will be graded by parents, no worries, it's easy and fun.  More information to come.
  • Please keep checking PowerSchool.  Despite my effort to be 100% accurate, I'm human and make mistakes.  I'm happy to change anything as soon as possible that is incorrect.
  • STAR Reading Scores should be on PowerSchool-most students improved in their reading!
  • I know it's the time of the year when students can be sick or out-of-town so please keep on top of their work and let me know how I can assist.
  • I am always available before or after school to assist or help students.
