Read Theory Homework
How does my child access it?
Your student can sign in to Read Theory on any device that has internet service. I have given each student a card with his/her username and password on it. This card is affixed to his/ her planner. The following link will take you straight to the login screen:
http://www.readtheory.org/auth/login
What is the expectation?
This week your child will read and answer questions for 2 stories. The stories are not long, but the questions will help me determine strengths and weaknesses in your child's reading skills. I encourage your child to continue reading for 20 minutes each night, but your child will no longer be expected to complete a reading log.
Homework Club
Homework Club will meet Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7:20- 7:45 in 3rd grade pod. Students that do not have internet access or are having trouble completing Read Theory assignments at home may attend to complete their work at this time.
Upcoming Events:
February 15- 19
Monday: Student Holiday
Thursday: Class Picture Day
February 22-26
Thursday: Mighty Mustangs Award Ceremony @ 2:00 in cafeteria
