You will find that I LOVE Reading! It is so good for the brain to just pick up a book and read! We will be reading a new novel each six weeks, along with any others I might come across. Students will be expected to earn their AR points each six weeks. They will receive two test grades each six weeks based on AR, so it is extremely important for them to read at home as well as at school!

The Writing TAKS test will be a big thing this year as well. You will notice lots of Writing assignments coming home. Please help us keep your students encouraged at home as well.

The first week of each six weeks, I will be sending home a list of the entire six week's Spelling words. Please put this on the refrigerator. The words will also be on the Weekly Newsletter sent home in the White Folders each week. We will have a Pre-Test every MOnday. Students making a 100 on the Pre-Test will be exempt from the Spelling Test on Friday.
