Today we will receive our Reading Books!! Starting Monday, we will have 1-2 Reading Comprehension Tests per week. Students will bring home their Reading Books EVERYDAY!!! Please let them read to you and ask them comprehension questions. Also, we have gone over how to take care of our books.

Grading Procedures for Reading Test
Each question is worth 10 points each. In questions 9 and 10, students must write their answers in complete sentences. We have been writing complete sentences all year so students should know how to write them. I will count off 1 point for misspelled words and incorrect letter formation. 2 points will be taken off for capitalization and ending marks. Please email me if you any questions!! OUR FIRST TEST WILL BE TUESDAY!!! PLEASE READ OVER "THE KITE" THIS WEEKEND.

Happy 100th Day!!! Check out our pictures in the picture tab!!!

OOOOOPS!!!
My aide accidentally sent home last weeks graded papers. Please return them tomorrow!! Thanks

**There is a book fair this week(1/22-1/25) in the library.  If your child would like to purchase something from the bookfair, please send money in a bag labeled book fair.

**Cookie dough orders are due January 28th.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!!
Thursday we will celebrate the 100th day of school!!! I am sending home a homework sheet that will need to be sent back by Thursday. Directions are on the back. I am also sending home a piece of card stock for you to glue to the "100" paper so that I can hang them outside of my classroom. PLEASE GLUE PAPER ONTO THE CARD STOCK BEFORE PUTTING YOUR 100 ITEMS ON.
PS: Some things may need to be hot glued on.

Please check the new lunch menu because some of the prices have changed causing some of you to be short on lunch money.

A FEW REMINDERS

Please look at your child's folder and see if it needs to be replaced. Some of them are falling apart. If you have not sent new crayons, pencils, and colored pencils, please do so.

ADDING MONEY

As a whole, we are having a difficult time adding change. When you are at home, empty out your pockets/wallet and help add the change with your child. This is a great way to practice. This will only improve if we PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

This Friday we will have Show and Tell. I do not care what they bring as long as it is not alive. :)

I will also have an AR Party for them on Friday as well. I will make brownies and popcorn for them. I am very proud of them for reaching their AR goal for the first time. MY AWESOME ROCK STARS!!!!

Here is our new Lunch Menu for 2013
