Whew! Made it through the first week of school. It was wonderful seeing so many happy faces on Wednesday morning. Kids were overall very excited to see their friends and begin 3rd grade. It was great meeting parents too! Thank you for all of the wipes, pencils, and other supplies you donated. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
A weekly homework packet will go home on Monday and is due on Friday, AUGUST 27. This packet includes a weekly reading log as well as an attached subtraction fact page. Don't worry about the AR level on the reading log just yet. Students will take the STAR computer test either this week or next to determine their reading level. I also began assessing students on comprehension and fluency. I will send home a printed copy of their score once all students have taken the test. If you have not signed the computer authorization form, please do so this week. It was sent home with the emergency cards on Wednesday in the green newsprint packet. If you overlooked the form I can send a copy with your child. Students will not be allowed to use the computer until this form is signed.
Most of you have probably seen the nightly Houghton Mifflin math homework. Kids are required to complete the front and choose at least 3 leveled word problems on the back. As you have noticed, some are harder than others. If your child attempts the problems but can not get through, just write a note on the math page. Homework should not take more than 45 minutes to complete.
That's all for now. Have a GREAT weekend!
