Milk Bags and Questioning

Did you know that since Christmas our class had already donated 240 empty milk bags?  Keep them coming!

Did you know that the latest reading strategy that we have been focusing on is questioning?  We have learned that good readers devise questions while reading and that those questions will fall into one of three categories.  Shown here is a sticky-note activity that we did yesterday with a shared reading selection.  Ask your child about it!  The full anchor chart can be viewed on our website on the Literacy Anchor Chart Archive page (click on the link above).  Please encourage them to craft questions while reading at home, and encourage them to work on "E" questions since they are the most challenging to understand (notice that only two students successfully crafted "E"questions).

Yesterday the literacy evaluations were finally returned since all students have finally written it.  Please return them signed as soon as possible.  Today the green gym/dance rubric will be sent home as well, since the last performance was done yesterday too.

Since we have one full week left of school before the March Break, it is important to note that it will be a full regular week of work, which includes a math test on Thursday.  As of right now, no one has informed me that they will be missing any extra days - that is fantastic!  Thank you for your dedication and respect of the natural break times in the school calendar.
