Homework and Announcements for the Week of August 17-21

*This will also appear in paper form, stapled in your child's agenda.


Announcements:
*Homework for this week will be the Reading Log. Students need to read at least 5 times during the week for 10 minutes (a total of 50 minutes). Of course, more minutes are always welcome! For our reading incentive this year, we are going to count books through AR quizzes, but please also fill in the ice cream cones at the bottom of the Reading Logs, since not all books are AR. Reading Logs are due on the Monday after the week read (so this week’s log will be due on Monday, August 24th).

*Speaking of AR, student computers should be up and working this week. Our nine week goal is 15 points. For those of you not familiar with AR, students read a book and take a quiz on the computer, testing comprehension of the book. The more difficult the book, the higher the point value. We will be keeping track in class how many AR points each student has earned. A list of AR books are available on the school website, but because of the length of the list, I am not able to print it for families.
