We made it through the first week. Everyone worked hard and did their jobs. We have written our classroom rules and posted them in our classroom. The students also took their first math checker this week. I was pleasantly surprised by the abilities they show in math. We even had a 100%! This week we really practiced some of the routines that take place in second grade.
The students will have spelling homework one night a week starting next week. I am not sure if it will be on Tuesday or Thursday yet. It will almost always be a yellow, two-sided worksheet that practices the skill that week. We always have pretests on Monday and posttest on Friday. They have the opportunity to get a challenge list if they get the first 10 words correct on the pretest. The last two words are bonus words. The students also can earn spelling stickers. When they have earned 12 stickers they can go to the prize box.
Next week we will be taking the STAR test on the computers. We tried today but there were some technical glitches that stopped us. Once that is done I will send home A.R. goal sheets for you to look over and sign. At that time we can start A.R.
I hope everyone enjoys the weekend. Know that my door is always open to visitors and would love to have you stop in for a visit.
Mrs. Staker
