What will your dog eat if there's no homework on the menu?

Many of the students have been given one or two homework passes this week depending on their September RAH completion and if they attempted our first blog Math challenge.

     Our next few challenges will have different rewards until some of these are used.  Students may choose any night to use their homework pass.  I have suggested to them that they tell you ahead of time if they plan to use them.  They must hand them in the next morning instead of homework, which makes not losing them important.

     The pass counts for all assignments that night.  If it is used, I will not marked missing homework for spelling or math, and I will put a note in their RAH log so that their FIT teacher knows that the skipped assignment was excused.

     The next six months of RAH will have a reward of (ONE) personal pan pizza certificate if the students miss two days or less in their RAH logs.

RAH! RAH! Read at Home!

Our FIT (focused instruction time) program has begun! Students are always reading precisely on their independent reading level during this time unless it is their turn with the Guided Reading Instructor. At that time, the students are learning with books at their instructional reading level.

RAH folders are sent home Monday through Thursday night with an independent book for students to reach their weekly reading goals. Students will normally be given enough time to take an A.R. test on each story later that week in class. In addition, Book-It pizza coupons will be given out October through March to students who meet their reading requirement. Please sign the RAH folder daily when your child reads at home and provide encouragement along their reading journey.
