This week I am beginning to DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment) student reading levels which means I will be unable to meet with my guided reading groups. I will do book switches with students for their Reading Bags, but please know that they will have 2 COLD books versus 1 hot and 1 cold. Thanks for your understanding with this!
Math Fact Fluency Tests
Students will receive their +0 fact test back on Monday. If your child did not pass with Mastery (90% or 18/20) they will have an opportunity to retake the test on Wednesday. This week we will test on the +1 facts :) Some helpful ways to practice these at home are using flashcards or online links. Here are some of my favorites which can all be found on our classroom website:

Halloween Party
Mrs . Smith (Austin's Mom) will be our Party Mom for this school year. We recently sent an email with information on the party and the link to Signup Genius for volunteer opportunities/donations. This link has also been posted on the Parents Page for our classroom website. Let us know if you are able to help and be a part of the party :)
