1-22

Parents and Guardians,
I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend...I know I did!  I was finally able to tackle the mountain of laundry that had been staring me down all week!
You will see that our Reading Log for this week has changed slightly.  Your students still need to read for 20 minutes, but I am challenging them to extend their responses.  They need to respond in short paragraph form (5 sentences) to answer a response question each night.  Please talk with your children about their answers...and don't forget to ask my favorite question-WHY?  :)
As your children move into the second half of fourth grade, we are reminding them that we are raising the expectations for them.  They have risen to the occasion, so let's keep that forward momentum going!
We are close to 1,000 books read in fourth grade.  We are just around 950 books right now!!
Please remember to feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!
