It's been exciting to get to know more about one another and establish routines and norms for how our group will work together this year! We have also begun to dig into the kinds of thinking we will do this year and how we will share our thinking with others!
In conversation about the ways in which reader's notice themselves thinking when reading we discovered as a group we have a deep understanding of a variety of text features and how those text features demonstrate a balance of student interests in reading fiction and non-fiction text! We are a group of clever thinkers!
CAMP STORER!
Camp will be here before we know it so it's important to give as much information to families as possible sooner rather than later.
Camp Storer Parent Meeting Wednesday, 9/12, 5:30 pm in the Mitchell Library. That's THIS WEDNESDAY!
CABIN LEADERS!
We have commitment from two parents to fulfill the role of cabin leader this year. Thank you! Our camp experience is not possible without cabin leaders and we need at least four more! Please consider whether or not you could fill this vital role for our trip to camp.
NWEA
NWEA testing will begin for our class on Friday 9/14. The beginning of the year is about building classroom community, but also collecting baseline data to monitor student growth over the year. Students will complete two NWEA assessments--reading and math.
Looking forward to another week together!
