I’ve spent the last two weeks training my students on classroom procedures and expectations. We will now put them into actions.

Two days each each we will focus on whole group instruction and two days each week we will further enhance those skills in small groups.

Fridays will be review day and FCAT Friday, where we will focus in on FCAT “Marking the text ” skills.

This Friday, we will have a test on Expedition one…. Students need to be familiar with the vocabulary word from this unit, this difference and components of narrative and expository writings, the five finger rule for finding main idea.

We are off to a great start…

Thank you for your patience as we continue to make adjustments with will be best suited for your child.

Feel free to email me!
