Reading- I am sending home your child’s reading level on a form that explains where he or she should be at this time of the school year. It also shows where their reading levels should be progressing to as the year moves on. The expectations have increased quite a bit with our new curriculum. Last year the kids were considered on grade level if they were coming into second grade on a level 18. This year the kids have to be on a level 24 as of this time in order to be on grade level. I wanted to make sure you knew the expectations have changed so you are not shocked if your child was considered on grade level at the end of last year and then you receive this form and it shows that your child is now reading below grade level. Next Monday during our open house, Principal Miller will be holding an informational meeting about standards-based grading. It will be a beneficial meeting for you to attend.
Writing- We have been focusing on good leads in our writing. It is fun to see the kids come up with new and exciting beginnings for their stories.
Math- We have been working with number fact families, counting money, and starting on math story problems.
Tiger Pride Assembly- Today is our first Tiger Pride Assembly. It will start at 2:30. We no longer have a student of the month. It has been decided to have a student of the week instead. Parents are more than welcome to attend and can take their kids as soon as the assembly is over. This does not affect their attendance.
Friday T-Shirts- Today your child will be getting his or her Friday Tiger T-Shirt. We wear these every Friday to show support of our school.
