Upcoming Literacy Assessment

Time is certainly passing quickly. We did get a start on our homework in class today so hopefully no one will be feeling overwhelmed.
This week's words are: their, start, kind, hurt, pick, only, so, been, clean and right. The class is doing well overall with the two-digit addition with regrouping. Many of the children have come up with their own strategies for adding, if it works, then "leave them to it".
Our Literacy Assessment begins on Thursday the 23rd. I'm sure you know the children do much better when they are well rested. Hopefully they will be healthy and "ready to go", come Thursday. It is really important that they be here first thing in the morning as we start shortly after 9:00 and work in 45 minute sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, every day until the 30th. We do the reading comprehension first and then work on our writing, fun, fun, fun.
The Carnival orders/ money are due Friday 24th.
Until next time...
