We had a great week! Back to school night was a great success and our kiddos had fun preparing for it. I have been a little backed up with all the new things going on at Bacon School so I will keep on the blog next week with all kinds of new stuff. I hope you liked the video I posted, it was pictures from the first few days of school. I love doing that kind of stuff with the kids, especially so you can see them in action.
Next week we will have our first reading test!
The test is compiled of our spelling phonics words (recognizing the patterns VC/CV pattern, not spelling them correctly), reading a short passage, answering comprehension questions about the passage, writing a short constructed response to a writing prompt, and vocabulary words from our story, Charlie McButton- bat, fuel, term, battery, blew, plug, vision
Here's the story for you to read together!

The first test will be a little time consuming but they are a great way to prepare our students for the NJASK3 coming in May 2014.

Homework will be a mix of math and reading activities-Remember NO SPELLING TESTS!
ALSO- If you kiddo is struggling with homework, write me a note in their agenda and let me know. I don't want homework TEARS!!! We have so many other things to worry about in life, homework is important, but I don't want fights or crying over it. 20-25 minutes at max!!!
