Word Study
New word study sorts were not given out Tuesday due to the teacher workdays next week. However, I have asked students to use their extra time to work on the stories they are writing, Raz Kids, or iReady. Also, I will be giving out a whole class sort involving contractions tomorrow. The quiz on these words will not be until Tuesday Nov 10th, so they will have plenty of time to work on these and not much time should be needed over their days off.
Science
We started a new science unit today- Earth, Sun Moon. The test is Nov 10th for now. More social studies coming in the 2nd quarter!
Dojo
Please continue to have your student reflect on their Dojo points. One thing to note is sometimes a lack of points can be a sign. The current behavior may not warrant a negative point, but it also does not earn a positive point either. I'm looking for those outstanding moments!

Updates!
Classroom news!
*First quarter conferences are under way! You should have received a note reminding you of your date and time. Please let me know if you don't remember when your meeting is scheduled.
*Reflex Math has a parent login option. (it may have been sent home with your student's login information) With this, you can monitor your student's progress. The program tracks their fact fluency. Our goal is to be close to 80-100% fluency of addition and subtraction before we start multiplication and division in a month. Please contact your student's math teacher if you need this information.
*If you have not sent in your students permission form and $11 fee for the field trip, please do so before the end of the week
*Raz Kids: Please monitor that your student is doing their best while working on Raz Kids. This includes working carefully on the comprehension questions and not just guessing. You can login to this program as well and monitor the skills they are struggling with. I believe the program should be moving them up as they complete all the books for a certain level, but please let me know if the program gets stuck on a level
