Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! I will be teaching your child ELA (reading, grammar, spelling, writing). I will try to follow the homework helpline assignments as best I can. As always, there may be some unforeseeable events. Please keep in mind we need to have an open line of communication for you the student/parent to have a great year.

What a week this has been! Many of us have adjusted our test dates due to the weather cancellations. Spelling pretest List 14 Eye of the Storm will be Monday.  Tuesday 3x each will be due.  Wednesday ABC order will be due.  Thursday write 5 compound words that are NOT part of the list.  Test will be Thursday. Grammar test is moved to Tuesday.  Students may or may not have 20 sentences to do for homework.  Depends on how their class period goes.  Study subject/verb agreement.  If they do not agree, then the verb needs to change.  Ask student to find the subject then the verb to reinforce subjects and predicates. Reading test is moved to Monday.  Students should study the vocabulary, signal words for generalizations, and related words.  Today the students are doing the Look Back & Write. Thursday is PBIS reward. ALL AR goals have been reduced to 3 pts for the remainder of the year.  Students may keep their higher goals for personal satisfaction! Please turn in all book
