Week of October 1st

This past week has been great! We are still getting used to our daily behavior logs that should be signed nightly. The students also have a reading log in a green folder they should be filling out daily.

On another note, we began this Friday with the students going to Gator Groups. Each student was given the opportunity to participate in a group of their choosing and interest. We will have Gator Groups every half day. Participating in Gator Groups gives students the opportunity to get out of the class and make new friends. The groups are mixed with all 3 grade levels, so they have a chance to build community with students they may not have met during a regular school day. Awesome, right!!!

Also, please be sure to always return signed graded papers on Monday. If you have not had the chance to return the field trip form that was sent home on Monday, please send it back this Monday. The fee for this field trip can be paid through your Parent Portal account.

Lastly, I want to congratulate Rohita and Zyria for completing addition on their Xtra math!!! They have now moved on to subtraction! We, as a class, are so proud of them and they were able to celebrate with ringing the celebration bell. Great job and everyone is working hard to join them. For those of you who may not know, Xtra math is a program that gives students the chance to master their basic facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The program is based on fluency through speed and accuracy. Yes, the students are able to access this program from home and continue practicing as long as they are logged into their Richland 2 email through Google mail.
