Hello Parents,
Our Literacy Battery assessments are in full-swing right now. I test each child individually on letter recognition, word recognition (a 92-sight word list), hearing and recording sounds, and print awareness. This is the same test that was given at the beginning of the year. I will also test each child's reading level using the DRA assessment system. I can already tell you that the progress our kids are making this year is WONDERFUL! I am so proud of them! Many students are reading chapter books. Several students read 40 books in our book challenge--way to go!
Do you follow our class on Twitter? I post weekly pictures of what we are doing in our class. Our handle is @MrsBlkmn.
We have a very special mother/grandmother event planned for Friday, May 6th at 2:15 in our room. I really hope you can make it. Our students will share something special they have written and a special craft.
A note went home this week about Play Day, which is May 20. Please make sure your child brings a towel, sunscreen, and wears a hat. It will be sunny, we will play in the water, and it's great if we're prepared. I'm really looking forward to a Shands-style field day!
Our Talent Show has been postponed because of inclement weather. I will let you know as soon as it is rescheduled.
Thanks for all your support! See you Friday at 2:15!
