Jurassic JournalVolume 16 Dec. 17th, 2018It has been a wonderful couple of months being your child’s teacher. I have seen so much growth and I look forward to seeing even more as the school year progresses. This week we will have a test on matter in science, and author’s purpose and predictions in reading. We will also continue reading books in honor of the winter holidays of Christmas, Kwanza, and Hanukah. Have a great week!

Testing

January is going to be a fun and busy month. All students will be assessed in math, reading, and language arts. Small group and one-on-one testing for reports cards will also happen over the

next few weeks.

Daily 5We are absolutely loving Daily 5! Each week you will get a daily 5 sheet marked with colored X’s so you can see what your child did on each specific day. Students will meet with myself and Mrs. Haddad, our reading para, several times a week. Reading groups are flexible and will likely alter after mid- year testing in January. Activities are changed for each station frequently and are engaging for students of all levels. This program is a great opportunity for students to work with all classmates on different tasks. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Announcements*The book swap is coming! Please look at the green flyer that was sent home last week. They are in need of books for the book swap. Please send any unwanted books to school to be used for others.

*I want to wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May the joy of the season bless you and your family. We look forward to seeing you back on Jan. 3rd.
