Week of Sept 14-18

Greetings!

Today is the first full week of the 2015-16 school year and we have a LOT to accomplish.  Students will finish all pretesting this week including timed reads, spelling pretests, STAR math/reading, etc.  Tomorrow, September 15, will be the first official day of Reading Interventions in our Learning Lab.  The interventions will take place every Monday - Thursday from 10:00-10:45 in the morning.  Some of our math interventions have already begun, but it will be in full swing tomorrow from 8:30-9:00. 

I will be sending home a Lyrics2Learn username/password information sheet this week.  However, if  you lose it, don't panic.  The website is www.lyrics2learn.com.  The teacher name is: Marienfeld.  The username is your child's first name and last name together like this: FirstLast.  The password is GoCanes.  The important thing to remember is that your child should sing along out loud at least three times before taking a quiz.  The purpose of the website is to help build reading fluency and, in turn, comprehension in an engaging way.  The kids love it!  It is pretty catchy and super fun to listen to them!

Please be sure to turn in all forms to the office if you haven't already done so.  We can't wait to show you our music video, but I need all forms turned in before I can post it.  :)
