Week of 10/1

*Sorry for the tardiness of my weekly email! 

The next 2-3 weeks I will be completing end of the quarter assessment.  Here is a list of expectations for the end of 1st quarter.  If your child meets these expectations, then they will receive an ME (Meets Expectations) on the report card.  If they are making progress, but are not showing that they have mastered it yet, they will get an SD (Still Developing).  If they are struggling with the concept or not showing a lot of progress, they will receive an AC (area of concern).   

Specialists:

Monday--C

Tuesday--D-PE

Wednesday--A

Thursday--B-PE

Friday--C

Sight Words: 

he, and, at

Please make sure you practice these words EACH night and review the other sight words as well.  These words are seen frequently in our reading books and used in writing.  They are a WONDERFUL foundation for helping build a strong reader and writer.  

I don't want it to be about "THE test" on Friday,  The test is a check in with me, so I can see what they have learned through out the week at home and at school. Keep up the hard work!!
