HW 12/12

Light HW this week.  I’m organizing Readers Workshop bags for every student with information on each individual reading level.  I’ll be emailing parents detail about their students’ book bags/reading levels this week in preparation for the long winter holiday.

 

We will be utilizing the Fountas and Pinnel leveling system to determine appropriate level books for your students.  Each students will have a bag that will have several books for them to read at their level.
