Practice Makes Perfect

Today we practiced for our Unit 2 Spelling Test and completed workbook pages 9-10 in Spelling.

We practiced our fluency by reading The New Kid, a poem in our Storytown book.

We also practiced writing complete sentences as we identified character traits while creating a "Magic Book" project to go along with our Mighty Jackie story.

I have been working on AIMS fluency testing with the students (this consists of three passages -- one minute for each).  Please do keep in mind that there is generally a natural decline in words per minute following the summer break, but the goal is for your child's fluency to grow throughout the year.  Results will be sent home once our building has completed the testing.  Feel free to email any questions or concerns regarding fluency -- or any other questions -- throughout the year.
