TURN IN READING LOGS EVERY TUESDAY
We're reading every night anyway. Record that reading on the Reading Log and encourage your student to turn it in 1st thing every Monday morning beginning next Monday, 9/11.
Students who turn in a reading log the 1st 5 weeks in a row will earn a doughnut to celebrate!
Social Studies Test Update
The "Civil War" test taken last week will be reassessed on 9/12. We will pause at each question to these practice test-taking strategies:
Reread the question. Make sure you understand what is being asked.
Come up with an answer to the question before looking at the list of choices.
Read ALL of the answers and cross out the choices that don’t make sense.
