Or return your paper order form, (that was sent home last Friday) to me with a check made out to “Scholastic Reading Club.”

Math 36 Club

I've been testing the children on their Math 36 Club facts this week during Interventions time. Many of them only made it half way through their facts in the 1:30 that is the time allowed. Please help your child practice these facts every night, even for at least 5-10 minutes. This will truly help them in reaching their goal of passing off the 36 math facts. I will send home the subtraction facts cards once they pass off the addition facts. PLEASE don't throw away the addition cards because you will need them again when your child is ready to practice the "Humdinger" where they try to pass off the addition and subtraction facts in 3:00 minutes. Thanks so much for your help with this!

 

 i-Ready at Home

Hopefully this picture is familiar to you by now. This is the screen shot you should see when your child logs on to practice their i-Ready lessons. Last Thursday I sent home your child's username and password. Please let me know if you did not receive this and I can get another one sent home. This program in math and reading can do some amazing things for your child if you will  help your child to log on and use it. They will also have a few opportunities to use i-Ready here at school in the computer lab and when the Airbooks are available. 

 

If you have any more questions about anything here at school, please email me at sheila.staley@jordandistrict.org

 

Books and Reading

Take Home Reading Books:

This is just a reminder about Take Home reading books. Please make sure that you keep the book in the gallon size baggie that it comes home in. It's easier to keep track of the book and the white piece of paper. Then it makes it so easy to take it from the homework folder and put it in the crate where the parent helper will take them to get a new book. Also, make sure that you initial the white paper after your child has read the book and they are ready for a new book. A new book will not be given to your child until the paper has your initial next to the date. Thanks!

 Book Orders:

This message is for all of those that ordered from the Scholastic book order. I'm hoping that the book order will be back before we go off track. If it doesn't get here in time, I will come into school and I will either arrange a time to meet all of you at school one day, or deliver the order to your house. But, I wanted to assure you that one way or another, the books will get to your children in time for them to enjoy reading them while we are off track. 

 

 Library will be this Wednesday!! 

Please make sure that your child's library book is returned to school in the next two days. It's very difficult to call the day of library when they have left the book at home. I've suggested to the children that they leave their library book in their backpack in order to keep track of their book. Thanks for your help with this!

Remember that we will be going off  track on October 9th. We will be off for 4 weeks! During this time I hope that you will make sure that your child keeps reading for 20 minutes every day and practicing their math 36 club facts. Thanks so much!

Homework Score Sheet:
As I said in my e-mail earlier today, I'm using a loner computer for a few days. The sheet was on the other computer, so I'm typing up another one. This will be going home tomorrow with the homework turned in from last week or today. I also checked the Road to Success website at the end of school today for last week's reading days totals. So, everything should be up to date as far as things that were turned in. I will always accept late work as long as it's within the current term. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers that have come in,on time and on their assigned days! It has been fantastic to have you helping out and getting to know the class. The kids love to have you there with us as do I.

As always, if you need to send me information or want questions answered, the best way is through e-mail= sheila.staley@jordandistrict.org
