Reading Logs
This is the 3rd week that I have had reading logs in place for homework. I just want to say thank you to all my parents out there for helping me out. I know sometimes it is tough to find 30 minutes in our day, especially the end of our day, to find time to sit our kids down and make them read. I appreciate each and every one of you taking the time to do this. One of the best ways to make our kids better readers is to make them read more! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your help and support!

Starting this week I will require that students write a story using all 10 of their vocabulary words when they do not make a passing grade on the previous weeks vocabulary test. I'm trying to get the kids to take more initiative in studying. So far based on the amount of papers that have been turned into me, this reward/consequence might work :).
