*I sent a progress report home yesterday with every student.

*We are moving full speed ahead with Accelerated Reader. Our class
has earned 376 points with 83.4% correct and an average reading
level of 1.5 (1st grade 5th month). Woo! Hoo! Our average correct
went up! Our goal is 85%. We can do it!
Congratulations to these members of the 20 Point Club: Jonah, Mary
Frances, Zoe, Michaiah, Ava, Kyle, Brayden, and Princess. Some of
them are getting pretty close to the 40 Point Club.
*Next Week's Curriculum:
Math- Addition and Subtraction Relationships (chp. 5)
Comprehension- Compare and Contrast
Phonics- long e spelled _e/ _ee /_ee_ and syllables
Composition- expository paragraph each day in our journal
Language- nouns in sentences/antonyms (opposites)
Science/Soc. Studies- insect communities
*We have had several incidents of hitting. Madison County Schools
has a zero tolerance policy for hitting/hurting others. This offense is
an automatic office referral. Please speak to your child about personal
space and respecting others.
*Please let me know if I can be of any help to you or your child. I am
always happy to have a conference; just send me an email or note to get
one scheduled.
Sincerely,
Ms. Debbie Kean
1st Grade Teacher
