Howdy all, and welcome back from what I hope was a restful and peaceful Thanksgiving break. The kids have been great, and are clearly happy to be back in class.
The Orange Folders that have made their way home today have new Accelerated Reading goals for this grading trimester. The goals, for the most part, are noticeably higher than the first trimester's goals, so please keep in mind what I shared with you at the conferences; these goals are based on a longer reading window. If you have questions about goals or scores, please do not hesitate to send me off an email.
As far as returned student work goes, I have caught up completely with math grading, but am still a bit behind in language packets and cursive. Families should receive the balance of their child's work in next week's folders.
In these weeks leading up to Winter Break, the class will take a siesta from literature circles and social studies textbooks. We will be focusing on short stories from our reading anthologies, producers and consumers / energy cycles in science, California mission reports and math.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
-Reading Log (new one in Orange Folders)
-reading practice book pages 181 & 182
-cursive packet, letter 'j'
-math lesson 51 (all)
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
