This week we will be in full Christmas mode! There are four stories that we will be reading in class, and if you child would like to take an AR test on those, they are more than welcome to! Since we read them in class, I can enter a code if it is not on their level.
We will also be doing some review of skills that we have covered so far this year. There will not be a test this week.
We still have one class that needs to do the STAR testing, but hopefully, your child will get their new reading level for January. I know many kids are excited to start some chapter books and read over Christmas break!

December Events and Activities
Hello Parents--
I know it has been a while since I have updated, and I am truly sorry! November was a month of crazy with several days off and mixed up schedules! Hopefully, we have a good plan in place and won't have too many interruptions!
Next week Orange, Yellow, and Green Groups will be working on cause and effect. This is a more difficult concept for our kids to grasp, so we will be reading several different text to help us identify the causes and effects.
Our main story will be Officer Buckle and Gloria and this will come from our Journeys book. We will also read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and I hope to tie in some Christmas themed stories as well!
All groups will continue to practice cold reads. At this point in the year, I will read a story to the students while they follow along, then I will read comprehension questions to them. They are to use text evidence in the story to find the answers. Most students are doing a wonderful job with this! Keep encouraging your child to slow down and take their time!
Red Group will continue to work on new vocabulary words, reading fluently, and using text evidence to answer questions.
