H.O.T. (Homework on Time) Activities

When your student turns in ALL their homework on time, their HOT ticket is signed by their teacher. Every 2-3 weeks we have a special event for the students with full HOT tickets.   This week we had our first HOT activity.  All the third grade students who had completed HOT tickets played Freeze/Unfreeze Tag! It's a great game where there are no winners and no losers.   We listened to music and took selfies too!  If your student didn't make it for this HOT activity, the great thing about our HOT tickets is that they are cumulative - your student doesn't have to start filling out their ticket all over again.  I collect the tickets as they are filled out and hold on to the full tickets until the next activity.  

AR Goals

This last week, all students took the AR STAR test that shows what book levels they should be working on to improve their comprehension. Our AR deadline is Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017 for the first trimester.  We will be sending a letter home this week so you can see your child's grade equivalency, their ZPD (or the book levels they need to read), and how many points they need to earn. Please let me know if you have any questions. 😊
