Homework:
Read 30 minutes
Math sheet---if not done in class
Reading sheet for students in my reading class


How to Choose a Just Right Book:
Look at the cover
Read the title and the author
Read the blurb in the back
Flip through the book
Read the first page
Use the 5 finger rule
0-1 fingers----too easy
2-3 fingers----Just Right
4-5 fingers----too hard.

Parents, I ask you to do this with your student each time they choose a book to read. If they are reading books that are too hard for them, they will not become better readers. They will become frustrated and not enjoy reading. I know some kids are feeling discouraged because they can not read the big chapter books some of the other students are reading. In order for them to be able to read those big chapter books they have to work on the level they are currently at. If we do not work as a team, students will not make much progress.


Reading Logs:

Students turned in their reading logs today. Nine students out of 25 did not turn in their reading logs. If your student still needs to turn in their reading log they can bring it tomorrow. New Reading logs will be sent home tomorrow (Thursday).
