Our first book report is due September 15. This month the class may read a book of their choice. They have been given a form to complete which includes a required signature. Each month a book report will be due on various genres.
A monthly calendar is given to the class each month. Tests are posted on this by the children. Please look for it in their folders.
Each Friday a spelling test is given consisting of 20-25 words. A reading test is normally given that same day to include a vocabulary and comprehension review of the story read that week.
These are good tips for the class from great sources I give at the beginning of each school year.
Before turning in a written assignment, proofread your final draft while reading it over several times. Always cover the lines above and below the line you are reading making certain you are reading only one line at a time. This will help you concentrate on each word and punctuation mark. Designate a place for your notebooks, textbooks, and correspondence at all times, so when you need them, you will know where they can be found.
Our Scholastic Book Fair begins the week of Labor Day. Please visit it with your child on Thursday, September10, at 10:30a.m.
