Dear Parents,
I wanted to thank you for your patience and understanding during my recent absences. As I have expressed in the past, my passion is teaching and it is my desire to be able to be with my class every school day.
Mrs. Okey's homeroom
This week the class is reading Coyote School News. This is a interesting Historical Fiction story about a school newspaper and the events in this very small Mexican school.
Homework:
1. Reading Log
2. Read the story at least 2 times at home (can be used for the log if you chose)
3. Vocabulary Maps are due Thursday (mostly completed in class) but check to ensure you child is ready to turn this in Thursday
Mrs. Smith's Homeroom
This week we bagan a new novel: Bridge to Terabitha. We have been working on reading the book and completing the vocabulary mostly in class. Since there are far fewer words the students should be able to complete their vocabulary maps at a much quicker pace. I have requested them leave their books at school most days. I am still missing a few books from our last novel study and when the students take the novels home they often forget/lose them. Your child can still work in the vocabulary at home and complete the book part at school for morning work.
Homework:
1. Reading Log
2. Vocabulary Maps
