9/26

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our first two-hour late start.  Our focus Friday will be centered around math and they will be engaged in fun math activities all day! Tomorrow is also STORM spirit day, so make sure your child wears all of their STORM colors:)

Reading logs are due tomorrow.  A new one will be sent home that is due next Friday, 10/4.

Our main reading skills for next week are cause and effect and visualizing. To get your student's brain ready you can start asking them questions such as;
What caused this to happen?
What effect did the event have on the outcome?

*Try and relate to real world situations. Ex. If you don't brush your  teeth, then you may get cavities. Because you have been very responsible, you can stay up for an extra half hour on Saturday. etc.

We are still working through the writing process with our personal narratives.  Ask your child what kind of lead they decided to use to introduce their story! Next week we will be working on adding transition words and dialogue.

W.I.N. groups are ALMOST ready to be up and running! We are excited to  start our groups and begin working on the specific skills that they need.  Word study will also be taking place in these groups.

Have a great weekend!
