Week of January 24, 2011

It seems like FOREVER since we have been at school. With the holiday last Monday and then two snow days, the two day week was like a mini-vacation. We have a lot to do in the next few weeks. I'm happy to report that our DIBELS scores looked good. I will get the official numbers in time for conferences, but everyone did well. The math test that was scheduled for last Thursday, WILL be Monday, January 24th. It will no longer be on second quarter, but moved to third quarter since report cards are due in this week. With that said, they will not be coming home on Friday. The date has been moved to Tuesday, February 1st. Also, conferences are upon us. They are February 2nd and 9th. That information was sent home last week. Times will be given and sent home on Wednesday. We are back to Reading Street this week. We will begin working on Unit 3, Week 3 in the morning. Just a reminder, the fourth graders will be taking the NAEP on Wednesday. Have a GREAT week!

Happy New Year!

I hope that everyone is doing well and adjusting to the normal routine of things. We have been doing a great job with procedures. The students are LOVING our unit in Reading Street. The science based leveled readers are interesting and much more fun to read. I do have some important dates for you to keep in mind.

Monday, January 17-NO SCHOOL for Martin Luther King Day
Tuesday, January 18-DIBELS testing
Thursday, January 20-Unit 5 Math Test
Friday, January 21-End of 2nd Quarter

As more things are added or changed, I will let you know!

Take care,
Mrs. Schneider
