Thanks so much to our class mom, Mrs. Forte for coordinating our Fall Party and also to those families who sent in delightful treats. Unfortunately our field trip was cancelled due to a weather-related power outage at Sagamore Hill. We will keep you informed of a new date.
This week we will be doing Fountas and Pinnell Reading levels. I will work with each student individually to establish their independent and instructional reading levels. We will do this again at the end of the year. Much like the benchmark exams, this is a way to measure individual progress.
