It was a good day!

Notes:
*Fall Festival wrist bands are in folders today if you ordered them.
*Tomorrow is stuff animal day for our 2nd class celebration! Please make sure it can fit in your child's backpack.
*There have been some questions popping up about WEB books and reading levels so I thought this would be an easier way to answer them. I will begin reassessing reading levels at the end of the month. I meet daily with your child in small groups on their instructional level which means they are working on reading strategies and stories "harder" than the ones in their WEB folders since WEB book levels were determined based on their September assessments. If you would like additional stories, please use our RAZ kids program online. Ms. Jackie, our classes support teacher, actually does the WEB books with our class not me. She has the kids read a little of the story read the night before and checks their word rings. Once your child has 10 tallies showing 10 times they have correctly read the word, she will replace words with new ones. (If there is more, she is aware. We try to stick to 10 but due to time constraints it could go over.) I will go over all reading assessments along with the others I have done at our upcoming November conference.
