Weekly Update: January 5-9

I hope everyone had an amazing break with family and a Happy New Year!  I've enjoyed my slow, quiet life with my family, but I'm looking forward to getting back to a routine and spending my days with your kiddos!  :)

Reading:

This week we will continue guided reading groups, however, our THRIVE time (intervention and enrichment) will be cancelled so we can focus on testing.  We will be completing Dibels (assessment of early literacy skills) and 3D Testing (used to identify an overall reading level) over the next few weeks.  I will inform you of your child's new reading level as soon as testing is complete.  I can't wait to share their growth with you! :)

Everyone in the class was set to meet their AR goal before the winter break.  Just a reminder to have your child read each night.

Math:

We will finish up our Unit 5 review and assessment this week.  We are also reviewing all skills learned so far this year in order to prepare for the mid-year assessment.  This assessment will also be given over the next few weeks.

Upcoming Events:

January 8th:  I will be out on this day.  I will be attending the state board meeting where they will recognize me for winning the Milken Educator Award. :)
