Remember: tomorrow will begin our mid-year DIBELS testing. Your child will be assessed in four different areas including phenome segmentation, nonsense word, initial sound fluency and letter recognition. Next week we will continue our testing and finish up with the reading portion. Please make sure your child comes to school rested and energized.
I want to encourage you to reiterate to your child the rules and procedures we expect in the classroom. You may have noticed the number of purple and blue days have diminished some the last few weeks and this is due to a decline in overall classroom behavior. Each child should strive to go beyond green and demonstrate exceptional behavior rather than settling for "pretty good." I would like to see an increase in our good and outstanding days!
Looking ahead to Valentine's Day - we will have a small celebration where the children can exchange cards and treats. I will also bring in some goodies as well. If you will be sending candies, please no gum.
This week we honored Amaris Holt-Wilson as Student of the Week. He has already started the week off with a purple, so he is already demonstrating why he deserves the honor. Congratulations to Amaris!
