FYI!!

Thank you to all who participated and helped to make last week so successful! AR is now officially "kicked-off", and we are encouraging each 5th grader to set a goal for AR points and number of books read. GA Standards require that each student in 5th grade reads a total of 25 books this year (approx. 1,000,000 words). This means that each student should strive to read at least 6-7 books per 9 weeks, at his/her appropriate level. Our AR reward will be this Friday, recognizing students who have reached the first 9 week goal of 8 points. Our goal for the next marking period will be higher and I will post this information next week!

Also...be on the lookout for reading response questions listed on my blog! Students will be required to answer one question each week during computer lab or at home, if they have access to a computer.

Conferences begin at the end of this week. Please look for letters from your child's homeroom teacher to set up a meeting and discuss progress or any areas of concern.

October 7th will be our PTO/Open House at 6PM...please join us!!!
