I hope everyone is enjoying their much deserved Fall break! During the break, every student was given a Fall Break Challenge packet to work on. Along with having their Fluency book to re-read, they will earn 10 dojo points for every completed story. They must use text evidence and answer each question in a complete sentence in order to earn the points. Enjoy the week!

Dismissal

Starting Monday, August 10, 2015 all second, third, fourth, and fifth grade students will be dismissed from their fluency homework teacher not their homeroom. Friday, August 7, 2015 your student will come home with this letter stating the room they will be dismissed from every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We will send this letter home again in January when we switch their fluency teacher. Any questions, you can contact me at 623– 691–3624.
