Last day for Scholastic Book Orders is today. You may use the class activation code DY72V to place your order online.
DIBELS: Our first major district-wide assessment, DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) was completed as of today. Students in Room 17 did very well! What will I do with the data? A thoughtful analysis will allow me to group the students in such a way that I can focus small group lessons based on their specific learning needs. Book Chats: This coming Monday, be on the look out for a letter about a new reading program I am starting called the Book Chat. Essentially, Book Chats are responses to literature. They are an optional reading component I am adding to the required homework I assign each week. Keeping in mind that students are already asked to read 20 minutes each day at home, the book chat is a piece of writing that can be done as a way to reflect on a story or informational book they have read. One book is considered to be 30 pages long. If, however, your child reads a chapter book that is 90 pages, it will count as 3 books, but they will only need to complete one book chat form. The form needs to be completed carefully and brought to class when the book is finished. You can download and print out three types of book chat forms from my Documents page. You and your child may choose which form is appropriate to go with the book. Lastly, thank you for helping to cover your child's Treasures textbook.
