Friday 11/25

  Today I returned the exams and we quickly reviewed the answers.  Then we did a few more pages in the phonics book, looking at the /j/ sound.

Please take a look at the exams, sign them, and return them on Monday so that I can see that everyone is up to date on the scores.  

For our meetings next week, keep in mind that we only get about 10 minutes to talk, so if you have specific questions or an issue that you want to discuss, it might be best to send me a line or an email first so I can prepare to answer.  Remember that we can talk about more complicated issues through messaging.

My schedule is fully booked on Monday and Thursday, but I still have times available on Tuesday (3:40-3:50 or 4:00 - 4:10), Wednesday (any time between 3:40 - 4:10), and Friday (1:20-1:30 or 1:40- 1:50).

I did look through the communication books and record the meeting requests that were returned to me.  If I got your sheet, I confirmed a time and returned the sheet in the communication book.

We will not have homework for tonight. I know that there are more exams and I want to give the students time to review. We will have class tomorrow. Because of the big exams, we will not have a weekly test this Friday.

Friday 11/18

Today we reviewed vocabulary and the stories with activities.  I hope that everyone has a great weekend and spends some time getting ready for the exam next week.  The worksheet we did together yesterday, the vocabulary, and the Reading Street stories Sam Come Back and Lin's Fish, would all be good places to focus review time.  

The school will have a parent-teacher meeting week on the week of November 27th.  If you would like to speak one on one with me, I will hand out a reservation form in the communication books next week.  It's not required, but if you would like to have a chat I would love to have the chance to speak about what I have seen with the students so far this year.
