 Daily Folders

Please remember to have your child bring his/her blue folder to school every day. 

Please remember to sign your child’s AR reading log located in the back of the blue daily folder.  On Monday, October 16^th, your child will receive his/her new reading log, reading level, and goal for the second nine weeks. Every student should be reading an AR book(s) of his/her choice weekly so he/she can meet his/her goal for the second nine weeks. AR points are earned by taking tests at school on books he/she has read on his/her level or above and earning at least 80%. Students can take AR tests on books from our classroom library, school library, public library, or books from home as long as they are AR and on or above his/her reading level.  For the students who met their AR goal for the first nine weeks we will celebrate during our lunch on Wednesday, October 18^th. Students will eat their lunch either brought from home or from the cafeteria and eat in the classroom and receive a special treat.
