And We're Back!

And we're back! The first week of quarter 2 has gone smoothly with the kiddos having all the routines and procedures that were a large part of quarter 1, already under their belt. With that confidence in mind, we are 'kicking it up a notch' and diving into our Daily 5 reading structure. For those of you who didn't read my earlier post, they are:

-Read to self/read to someone

-Listen to reading

-Word work

-Write about reading

-Guided reading 

As I have told the kiddos, all of these centers help them become better readers. In fact, we took a poll today and the kids said they felt smarter after going to their Daily 5 centers. With excitement like that, you can't not help love the little ones ;-) 

Report Cards

Report cards will be going home on Friday. If we have already met for a parent/teacher conference, I have already shared with you if your child is on grade level (level 3) in reading, writing, and math. I have also shared if there are any areas your child needs to work on. Your child's report card should be reflective of what I shared during our conference. Please do not hesitate to call or email should you have any questions or concerns. 

*NOTE: Please excuse any punctuation/formatting errors in the 'comment' section of the report cards. The new report card program did not reflect the comments as the bullet points that I had initially written.
