December News

Newsletter for Ruby in Her Own Time-Spelling Test and Reading Test will be TUESDAY  Dec. 20th. 

We will be going on our field trip on Thursday Nov. 8th to see The Best Christmas Pagent Ever. I asked students at the end of the day to wear red.  This way it will be easier to keep our class together. 

Our reading test have changed with the new reading story.  As you can tell, these stories are longer and tougher.  The test has changed to 15 questions.  It will still have questions using the high frequency words at the beginning of the story and questions about the story.  The last 2 quesitons are in essay form.  For the first few test, I will give students a beginner statement to answer the question.  We also go over these throughout the week.  Please review the new format with your child.  Thanks. 

Graded papers will come home on Friday.  Please forgive me for returning them so late.  After being out Monday for sickness, the rest of the week has been very crazy. 

Spelling Test and Reading Test will be TUESDAY  Dec. 20th.
