Next week will we be Galileo testing on Monday and Tuesday morning in class. This will assess students in Math and Reading and help guide instruction in class, and is taking the place of the iReady testing that SPS did in the past. This assessment will be shorter and provide better information to reach proficiency in grade level standards.
PRIDE Behavior System: As a school, we use PRIDE behavior — Problem Solving, Respect, Integrity, Dependable, and Engage. As a reward, students will receive tickets throughout the week. They can earn tickets anywhere in our building! These tickets will go in a bucket in our classroom. Each week I will randomly select 5 tickets and that student will get to choose an item from our prize box. (Students have choices between tangible items, as well as non-tangible items.) We work hard to earn these rewards and have fun when we earn them! We will also hand out bracelets each week to students who have shown exceptional PRIDE behavior!
Snacks in Class: Sometimes I get hungry, so I know the students do too! They will be allowed to eat their healthy snack in the classroom. Students are not allowed to share their snack with anyone. The students should also continue to bring in water bottles.
Special Class Schedule:
Monday - Music & P.E.
Tuesday - Computers
Wednesday - Music & P.E.
Thursday - Library
Friday - Art
Learning Units:
Reading - Bad Kitty (chapter book read together as a class)
Writing - Brainstorming & Personal Narrative Writing in Paragraphs
