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. 

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Hello and happy rain day!  Who would have thought we would have another day off so soon.  I was not able to get a newsletter typed up today before dismissal and know that many of you will be looking for our spelling words.  We will be working with the vowel sound of y.  Here are the words:

1.   my         7. cry

2.   by          8. lucky

3.   try          9. silly

4.   any        10. puppy

5.   body      11. things

6.   fly          12. always  

If by some chance we are out again tomorrow, it may be that we move the spelling test to next Monday.  I will let you know for sure.

Homework tonight: Students should read with you the story "An Egg is an Egg."  Please sign your child's Bee Book to say that they read.

Thank you so much for keeping up with what is going on in our classroom by reading this blog.  Be safe and enjoy the day off.

Pumpkin Book Reports

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a great and restful Fall Break.  I apologize for not  updating the website recently.  I am hoping to get back onto a regular schedule  This week each student has an individual trade book that they will be reading.  The students will be completing a book report in class.  They will identify the characters, setting, beginning, middle, and end.  Students will also be writing about their favorite part.  They will present their poster on Thursday and Friday to the class.  I have connected both the newsletter and an information sheet about the pumpkin book reports.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 

This week I will also be getting students reading levels and hope to have them ready to share with you at parent teacher conferences.  Thanks for ALL you do!!!
