Hello Parents!

 

I hope each of you enjoyed the beautiful weekend since we are starting off to a soggy week!

 

We have a lot to cover so here it goes............

 

On Friday, your child brought home their Biography Project information.  Please help your child choose a famous person

to read about.  They must have a book on or close to their reading level.  They must have their book approved by me no later than this Thursday, January 16th.  They will present their projects on January 30th and 31st.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

 

Your child will have new reading homework starting tonight.  They are required to read 15 minutes Monday - Thursday nights and write 2-3 sentences about what they read.  They have a sheet to fill out in their Take Home Folders.  This sheet will be turned in on Friday mornings.  They will receive one reading grade, based on the completion and accuracy of this homework, each of the remaining 9 weeks.  This is to help with two areas of focus this semester.  One is to build up their reading ability by being able to write about what they read, and secondly to be able to write a compete sentence with correct capitalization and punctuation.  They may use their reading of the weekly story as part of their required 15 minutes.  Directions are included on the sheet.  Again, if you have questions, please let me know. 

Mrs. Kane
