Happy Snow Day!

I hope you have enjoyed our first snow day!  I had almost forgotten how pretty the snow is since we haven't had much this year!  We are back to our normal routine after have a very fun Dr. Seuss week.  This week we have been working on our researching Ohio.  The children have done a wonderful job using both books and the internet.   In class we are using a site called www.kidrex.org to search.  I have added the link to our webpage in case you want to research at home.  The site is like google but is kid friendly. 

Below is a link to our homework for this week.  As always, feel free to print it out or do it on a separate piece of paper if you do not have a printer.

Way to Go!

Each month we take the "Star" reading assessment on the computer.  After the assessment, the results are graphed and discussed with each child.  The purpose of the assessment is track our reading progress and make sure we are continuing to grow. 

Below are pictures of students who made our January goal on the Star assessment!  The pictures are also hung in our hallway for everyone to see what awesome readers we are!  I am so excited about all of the progress everyone is making in reading!   I look forward to sharing more successes at conferences in February.
