We are settling in to our routines very nicely. Thanks for helping us with homework!
We had our first STAR test this week. I will send the report home Monday in the red folder. The children have library slips that they can use to help them find an appropriate book on their reading level. I used this first STAR test as a springboard to start them off and I will "kick it up a notch" as needed. I want each child to have at least one AR book to read independently, but most of the STAR reports also suggest that the children be read to daily at school and at home. I am reading to them every day and it is still so beneficial for you to model good reading for them at home.
We will have individual pictures made Wednesday. We will be out for the Labor Day holiday on September 5.
Here is what we'll be working on next week:
Reading -- short i, consonants b, r, h, g
Math -- subtraction from 6
Language -- rhyming words
Social Studies -- My School
Bible -- God Makes Animals (memory verse Ephesians 6:1)
Happy weekend!
Mrs. Morrison
