Update

Hello!  Happy New Year!! 

I apologize for taking a while to update the blog.  It has been busy!

We finished our pioneer unit before Christmas break and we have started our new unit in ELA called Animals with Character.  This unit will focus on how authors can use animals as characters using writing devices like personification.  We will read two books this unit, The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary and Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. 

STAR reading and STAR math tests will take place over the next two weeks along with our second round of DIBELS testing.

Students took their Unit 3 math test today.  Any make ups or retakes will be administered this week.  All students must have their test signed by you and turned back into me.  You can expect them to be sent home Wednesday or Thursday this week.  We will begin Unit 4 later this week or early next week. 

The end of Quarter 2 is on January 23.  It is also another early release day for HCSD.

Have a fabulous day!
