This week there is NO SCHOOL on Tuesday. Now that all students have taken the baseline test, I will be sending home a card with the ELA/Reading website which is www.pearsonrealize.com along with your child's username and password (which begins with capital F and ends with number 1) Once you sign in, you will be able to see an on-line copy of Stellaluna. Please review the book with your child and review the vocabulary definitions in the notebook for a quiz on Friday. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS CARD FROM YOUR CHILD'S FOLDER.
This week I will also be sending home the first TEN corrected Math exit tickets your child has completed. Please review these for a Math quiz on Thursday. You should keep these sheets at home in a safe place. There will be a Social Studies quiz on Wednesday.
