Because our 9 week period ended on Tuesday, I will not be sending choice cards home this week. A new choice card will start on Monday.
Friday Folders are coming home, so please look for them!
SS students: You will have a Chapter 9 and 10 test on Thursday 3/27. Because there is so much difficult content in these chapters and we have covered them quickly, this test will be "open book." Study hard anyway!
Have a great weekend!

Behavior
Our class, had a very difficult time in the lunchroom today. The report was that our class was, "Obnoxiously loud and blatantly disregarded the music."
This is unacceptable. I really hate it for the few that were not involved. Please speak to your child about lunchroom behavior. They missed recess today and had to sit in the room silently. They will continue to miss recess and eat silent lunch in the classroom if this continues. If they ever needed recess, it is now, considering our extra thirty minutes. Please encourage your child to act appropriately.

Grading Update
· I have posted another "Reading Workshop Participation" grade: This grade is based on
teacher observation of
student’s stamina (ability to stay focused) during IR,
reading log completion (due every Monday)
student's written responses during morning work and independent reading
and “status of the class”(my record of their progress during independent reading)
If your child has a low Reading WS Participation grade, please ask them to explain to you in which areas they are not doing well.
