On the Road to Success
September 19-23
Important Reminders
- Students should be bringing home a book bag each day with a class library book inside. These are books your child has selected that are at his/her reading level. It is extremely important that your child takes care of the books in the bag. The cost to replace a lost or damaged book is $6.00.
- When sending notes or money to school please make sure it is labeled with the date, your child's name, and my name. Lunch money needs to be in an envelope or baggie with the same information. It is also important to include your child's lunch number.
- If you need to contact me, please use my school email: extinclass@hobart.k12.in.us. I can also be reached on my school phone: 219-947-7869 ext. 8538. Please keep in mind that I only check voice mail and email when I am not with students. I check daily before school, around 10:00, and again after school.

Reading and Vocabulary
In our story we will look at characteristics of text genres and point of view. At this point of the school year it will take us about two weeks to complete the lessons that go with our story because we are also establishing the routines for our literacy block. Students will know when the reading and vocabulary test is coming because they will be assigned to read the story at home for homework and complete a vocabulary review page. Our learning goals will be:
- I can identify basic characteristics of a text genre.
- I can identify point of view.
On Monday we will take some time to read about our Constitution in honor of Constitution Day which was Saturday.
