My Apologies! Week catch up!

I apologize for being behind on the blog this week! All has been going well in class this week! I have been very busy getting things ready for the start of our Dibels and TRC testing next week. I will be starting that on Wednesday and it will take a couple of weeks to complete as I can only test at certain times throughout my day.
The kids have been great this week and I am very happy with their effort each and everyday in class.

We have a new class motto and it is " EXPECT SUCCESS" 
We have been discussing what this means every morning. I want the kids to understand that being successful does not necessarily mean getting everything 100 percent correct. I want them to understand that they can be successful in whatever they do. The definition I am using for success is, " When you do your personal best and work to achieve your goals." In class I want the students to know that I "expect success" from them each and everyday and they need to also "expect success" from themselves and be confident in their work.

Will be updating this evening and I am doing my best to keep up!!!

I am attaching the comprehension practice sheets we will be doing everyday. It wouldn't hurt to do these at home when you have extra time. I really stress a 4 part approach to these. 1 Read the questions. 2 read the story and highlight/underline parts that are important (think about the questions). 3 reread the story. 4 answer the questions. It is important to stress that ALL of the answers are in the reading. All we have to do is go back and FIND them!!! re-read multiple times if needed!!!
Comprehension skills

We are ready for a GREAT Thursday!
