What's Happening on Wednesday?

Hello to all!

The Language classes use their J&J practice readers everyday to develop reading fluency. Today both classes will be choral reading - reading all together. Our practice reading with our J&J reading takes about 10 to 15 minutes. We practice the same story for at least a week.

Today the students will also all be involved in individual reading conferences. We use their independent reading books for these conferences. Again, please ask your child to tell you about what he/she is reading.

We continue to work on the "Forms of Be" helping verbs.

Homework for Thursday is a spelling sheet for words that end with consonant blends. Please encourage your child to have the paper ready to turn in at the beginning of class.

Please check out the two links I have added to this blog. The seventh graders use the e-learning . . . one often during their SSR class. It has a great course under the "computers" button for learning keyboarding skills. It would be great idea for your child to use this one at home!

Till Friday,

Ms. Z
