We survived our first week of school!
Today was our first
memory work test. The students had a
fill-in-the-blank format for this, as they will each week. Today the students also continued working on
their reading baseline test. I look
forward to finishing this next week and seeing the results and adjusting my
teaching based on where the students are.
After lunch we had
the exciting opportunity to meet our 7th grade reading buddies! We will meet with them each Friday afternoon
to read and get to know them. After
reading buddies, the students got to start their Interactive Journals. This is an opportunity for the students to
write to me, including pictures if they want to, and I write back each
week. It is a neat chance for me to get
to know the students on a different level.
The students also
got their AR levels today. You received
a pink note (in their homework folders), giving you the results of the STAR
test, which gives the students their levels.
Take a look at that when you get home!
The students also
had their 2nd P.E. session with Mr. Haynes.
Ask them what they did!
We also talked about
our purple hand pledge: "I will not use my hands or my words for hurting
myself or others." We discussed
what this meant, how to best use our hands and words, and then the students took
the pledge. To symbolize our pledge, the
students made a purple handprint and signed it.
These will be displayed on our classroom door throughout the year to
remind us of our pledge.
Reminder:
No school on Monday--Labor Day!
