This week we will be learning about bats.
Next week we will be learning about the presidential election.
Next Friday (Nov 2nd) is grading day so there is no school. I have started assessments today with kids that I will use for report cards. This is a time when students need to show me what they can do INDEPENDENTLY without support or guidance. That means I will be assessing their reading levels on a text they have never seen before, giving them math tasks that they have had lots of practice at- but I can't really help them if they get stuck or confused (writing their numbers, addition, counting by 5's and 10's, using the greater than and less than sign, etc). This is the time when I am meeting with a lot of kids one on one during class so that I can really make sure I know where they are at in their skills.
Today we did a writing assessment where I asked them to pick one event (jog-a-thon, going to the pumpkin patch, visiting the fire station, etc) and write as much as they could for me. We reviewed the writing goals we had been working on since school started- they did a GREAT job!
Please feel free to check in if you have questions or concerns! Email is always the best way to touch base, but I am always up for a phone call or personal visit after school if you are around!
Take Care,
Mrs. Weathers
P.S. If you would like to donate baby wipes or pencils to the class that would be great, thanks.
