I hope everyone enjoyed their 3-day weekend. As we get back into the flow of things this week we will get a lot done in just four days.

Reading: I will conclude TPRI testing early this week and guided reading groups will resume. Levels have changed for all the students and new expectations have been put in place. Some are reading higher levels, while some are expected to read a chapter book a week. They know what their levels have changed to and if they are reading the chapter books. Some of the parents have probably already noticed these coming home.

Word Work: Nouns and adjectives will continue to cycle through while compound words will be introduced this week.

Writing: We are currently writing a class book that is an adaptation of one of their favorite Audrey Woods books. Independently, they are writing a biography to describe themselves. Using adjectives to make their writing more exciting is the goal along with using the writing process.

Math: This week our problem solving will based on the “SPARKLE” #10. Writing equations, both addition and subtraction, counting by 10’s and tools that represent 10.

Please check your emails and school calls verifying that all of the White Oak School District will be closed to the students on February 8th.  It is an early release day for students on January 27th at 11:30 and another school holiday on February 15th. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

Again, if there ever any concerns or things to share please email me and let me know. Thank you.

Mrs. Benson
