A note from the teacher:
Week of September 7th
Learning Targets this Week:
Literacy 2.RL.1. Ask and answer such questions as
Over the next few weeks we will be practicing and reviewing
procedures for Daily 5. Daily 5 is a fantastic reading program where
students “read to self”,” read to someone”, “work on writing”, play
“word work” games (spelling), and “listen to reading”. This program
promotes student choice and helps to develop life-long readers. I
am very excited to get the system up and running and students are
excited to read! This week I will finish assessing students on their
reading fluency and comprehension. Students will then be working
on specific targeted reading skills and I will pull small groups.
TESTING
I will be starting 3D testing this week. I will be assessing their
word knowledge, recall of story, reading level and fluency. I will
also be looking at their written comprehension. I will be doing this
testing till approximately September 22nd. I will send home all
information when completed.
WISH LIST FOR CLASSROOM:
Seat cushions for read to self
Composition notebooks
who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate
understanding of key details in a text.
(What do students need to learn?)
Students are required to use textual evidence to support
their thinking as they ask and answer general questions.
These questions (who, what, when, where, why, and
how) focus on what the text says explicitly and include
key details.

This year Mrs. Sahley's class has multiple kids with various
food related allergies. In an effort to make sure every child
is included in birthday celebrations, we are asking that you
notify either Mrs. Sahley or the room mom* of your plans for
treats. We will need to know, in advance, what day you
are bringing in the treats and what the treats will be. For
example: cookies, cupcakes, popsicles, etc. This will allow
the parents of the food allergic children to accommodate
their individual child with a safe alternative treat. Please
note that this is also a "peanut free" classroom. We may be
able to provide a list of safe options from specific stores if
that helps but this may take a bit longer awaiting a room
mom*. May I suggest…new pencils, eraser toppers instead.
ROOM MOM WILL BE AFTER VOLUNTEER TRAINING.
All Changes in Transportation need to be
handwritten.
Lunch money in envelope with name and lunch
number.
