Week of February 3

Hello and thank you for checking in!
 
This week our class is starting a new novel, Where the Red Fern Grows.
 
 
We will focus on summary writing and comprehensive reading strategies.
Our class excels with reading and is quickly filling their 100 pages reading chart! Keep it up!
 
We have a field trip coming up Thursday, February 20. Check your child's Friday Folder for the permission slip and please return it this week.
 
This field trip will be to Balboa Theatre for a performance entitled "Journey to Asia". We leave the school at 8:30 and return at 11:30. This is a special opportunity for our class because only three classes from our school get to attend and ours was chosen!
 
 
As we approach testing season, and our state implements new testing criteria, we will be utilizing Ipads in our classroom to take the "Smarter Balanced Practice Test."
 

 
 
 
 You can review the practice test sample on their website here.

 
Thank you to everyone who turned in their Scholastic Book orders this week. When we submit the order altogether we earn more points for our class that turn into extra books at checkout. Our class has earned over 800 bonus points this year which equates to 4 more books! We will vote on which books to select in class.

There will be no Parent Bulletin this Friday, but I will be sending home a current assignment summary report so that you can check over your students' progress thus far in the trimester.
