Spur-i Pepper Class News
Week of December 8th
District Benchmarks this week
We will begin taking our LISD 18 week Benchmarks in Reading, Writing, and Math this week. These assessments help me identify which students need additional challenges and those who may need some intervention.
Please encourage your child to do their best, but the tests themselves are not for a grade.
We will not have spelling words this week because of the benchmarks.
Polar Express Day
Our class needs to borrow a large coffee urn (similar this: http://www.target.com/p/west-bend-30-cup-polished-aluminum-urn-58030/-/A-727793
to heat our water in during the day.
The Holiday Party is Coming

- Writing: I can write an introduction that includes a topic sentence and that "hooks" my reader.
