We have been working on learning classroom procedures and participating in getting-to-know-you activities. Now it's time to get down to the business of Language Arts! We will be learning about the plot chart cycle with different mediums, including film (Pixar shorts), children's book and short stories. We've finished taking our reading and writing benchmarks which will give me a snapshot of where each of my students are in these areas and help drive my instruction.
Our iRead program is a powerful program that promotes reading. I sent a form home with the students and emailed parents, but we are still gathering donations from sponsors for the iRead shirts. Any contribution is much appreciated. If you need to access the form, you can find it here: iRead Support Letter
This is going to be a fantastic year! Please email me if you have questions or concerns at jandi.gubler@washk12.org/435-652-4742
