Week of 3/17-3/21, 2008

Hello All!

SPRING BREAK IS FINALLY HERE! The students are continuing with poetry and doing a great job showing their creativity! We are also working on writing sentences and identifying adverbs.

Upon returning from break, the students will be working on a research topic. They will be given some time in class to do research, form a bibliography, and prepare a speech. I look forward to seeing their growth as learners.

Have a great spring break!

Week of March 10-14, 2008

Hello Parents!

ISAT week is finally over!

The kids did a great job staying motivated during the 4 day testing week! They worked very hard and kept a positive attitude throughout! The Friday off was definitely well deserved.

This week, my Reading class will continue with their poetry unit and in LA, verbs and "Lakeview" sentences.

Parents, your support in your child's education is key to their success. I would like to again thank you all for your hard work and dedication!

Week of March 3-7, 2008

Hello All!

In order to prepare the students for ISAT week, we have been working on various ISAT skills in our Reading and Language Arts class. The students have done a great job recalling strategies and using their test taking skills to answer different types of questions. They are also working very hard on the Extended Reading Response questions, which are usually a challenge for our students. I am so proud of their hard work and determination!

Next week is ISAT week. PLEASE remind your children to eat a healthy breakfast every day and to bring # 2 pencils and a calculator. I know the students will work hard and do their best!

Have a relaxing weekend!
