Monday~
Advisory~ We will be working on recognizing good character traits this week. Monday we will complete the “How are you smart” graph.
Reading~ DRA, Direct Reading Assessment will be the goal for this week. We will still be emphasising fluency this week and we will be moving into our small grouping strategies. The students have been working on Reader’s Theatre and have done a great job with them. The students really need to be reading at home for 30 minutes per night. Research directly ties this into success in the “real” world.
