Ambassador Dogs
On Wednesday, May 10th, our class will be receiving a visit from Tatem's Ambassador Dogs! Our visit will last for about an hour. If you have any concerns regarding your child's participation (allergies, fear of dogs, etc.) please let me know.
Literature Circles
Each student will have a certain amount of pages to read each week as well as a job to prepare. Tuesday in class, I give the students 45 minutes to work on their job. I also allow them to read their literature circle book throughout the day when they finish a task early or during transitions from subject to subject. If they are not able to finish the reading in class they will need to read at home as well.
Please check in with your child weekly on Tuesday/Wednesday regarding their preparedness to ensure they are ready for lit. circle discussions that take place on Thursdays.
