We had a great week.  We are finished with our placement testing and onto our normal curriculum.  We are still working on procedures and getting our routines familiar, but it was a great week.  We worked on read to self and read to buddy this week.  Next week we will work on listening center.  We are studying about the branches of government and learning about place value.  Our week will be full of new exciting things.

I am attaching a link to a reading comprehension video that we are learning about.  By using the five areas of comprehension, we are learning to be better, stronger superstar readers.  Please check it out or ask your student about it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxIZmgrK-xc

Our first week of school was great.  I am a lucky teacher to have such wonderful students.  We had a full week of testing and now it is time to get down to business.  Some of you have had concerns about homework --- it is coming.  I would rather know what your child needs help in then simply hand out busy work that may or may not meet the needs of your child.  The homework will arrive in their green homework folder so be sure to check that daily. 

We are going to continue practicing our reading centers this week, learn about math centers, and do a little social studies. 

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail me.
