Last day of January...lots of cold and snow!
Some of my students have started some contests for everyone that are optional. One is for Valentine's Day Posters and the other for words related to Valentine's Day! What fun!
We talked this week about comparing stories in the same genres. Students also took part of a practice test to prepare us for the tests in February. Check out this link, it has the practice test on it it. We only did the part about Paul Bunyan which is the last passage.

It was about Paul Bunyan. The students did very well as they navigated through it. Once they finish reading the story and answering the questions, then they have to write a narrative essay about it. They did this in writing class. We will keep practicing to prepare us the best we can!
Students also were invited to join my Google Classroom. Google Classroom is a neat way to interact with everyone through our Google Accounts. Check out this link that talks about everything it can do.

I am experimenting right now with completing reading logs online through this site. Students have the option to use it and can find the classroom by logging into their Google Accounts. Once logged in, they click on the 9 dots, click more, and then choose classroom. They had the chance to try it today during class if they wanted. Reading Logs then get submitted to me, I read and grade them, and send them back. There is no paper involved! Ask your child if he/she tried it today...
We are two weeks into the quarter. Please ask your child about Reading Counts. Goals are due by March 25. Please ask if you have questions.
