Words of the day this week have included: humongous, options, and diminutive.
The golden envelope reading program is back up and running! (The students were moaning and groaning last week when I told them we'd wait a week until we started - what a great sign!) Please listen to your child read, then jot down the title on the outside of the envelope, as before.
The Right to Read Society is inviting all students to participate in a Read-a-thon. Students can set a reading goal (after consulting with parents) and parents can keep track of the number of minutes read daily. Check agenda pockets for a calendar to track reading minutes and a note on the calendar's flipside, describing some other upcoming reading events.
Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help out with our school's Brain Boost program. We appreciate your time and efforts!
Our class will be hosting a cookie sale on January 29th. I'll send a reminder home closer to that date, but just as a heads-up: students will be asked to bring 2 dozen cookies or cupcakes or rice krispie squares, which we'll sell to raise money for our school's foster child. Thanks in advance for your help with this.
Student-led conferences will be held January 29th as well. Parents are invited to drop in to our classroom any time after school (I'll be here until 6:00) so that the bright lights of Room Four can share and show off some of the amazing things they've been doing. Who knows? Students may have a vocabulary test for the parents, moms and dads might be challenged with a brain buster, a snowball fight may even break out...come prepared for anything!
