Great Teammates


We continue to work on collaboration and learning together. The above contract encapsulates student's thoughts on how to have a strong learning environment/classroom team.  We are reading books like crazy this week!  We are up to sustaining 20 minutes of independent silent reading and growing this practice each day.  I hope everyone was able to get students signed up for the electronic resources noted in last week's post (find below). Reading the just right books and working through Lexia will support students growth and independence as readers.

We are starting an engineering project based on a Mystery Science activity.

Important stuff:

  • Please sign up for a Family Conference
  • Picture day is 10/13 at 8:40am
  • Please send earbuds or headphones if you have any extras at home - to use with digital reading.
  • PTO information
  • Flynn Theater field trip on Monday, October 2nd 8:45-11:00.  The play My Father's Dragon is a book series that we will use to explore writing strategies in our writer's workshop. 
Here is the link for Raz-Kids.  Each child needs their teacher’s user name to begin (SCScat) This then brings you to page showing each child.  The username for everyone is their first name (ex: john).  The password for your child is the plane icon. Screen Shot 2017-09-21 at 9.46.57 AM.png
