FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MY CLASS
When is the Spelling test?
The spelling pre-test will be on Thursdays. If your child makes a 100%, he/she will not have to take the test on Friday. Otherwise they will get a second chance to improve their score on Friday. I will take the best score for his/her final grade. Everyone will take the dictation test on Fridays, which is a separate spelling grade.Back to Top

When do I send the reading log back to school?
Your child can return the reading log as soon as he/she has read 20 books. You will not get another one until the first of the next month. Only one needs to be completed each month. If you lose it, you can just write down the books on a piece of paper and sign it. If your child finishes before the month is up, continue to read nightly so they can improve their reading skills. Only count books that they read on their own.Back to Top

Why are some library books too hard for my child to read?
Your child gets to pick one AR book that is on their level and one book for fun. The fun book may be a book that you can read to your child or may be just a book to look at. It is still important for your child to be read to everyday as well as getting a chance to practice themselves.Back to Top

Is there a snack time?
We will have snack time around 9:30 every morning. You can send a healthy snack to school with your child each day if they would like to participate. Pretzels, crackers, fruit, dry cereal, or the like would be appropriate. Back to Top
