Self checks

Today, we completed our first self-evaluation on our word wall sentences from last Friday. It should be in your child's folder if they turned them in on time. I graded the work to see if your child used the word properly in the context of a sentence. Today, your child was responsible for evaluating the bits and pieces. This will hopefully teach your child what is expected of sentence work as they will complete it again this Friday. There are days that I will use the evaluate sheet to conference with your child, some I will collect, and some will come straight home. From this week on, your child will be graded on the spelling of their word wall word in addition to using in correctly so each sentence will be worth 2 points. I'm hopeful that this reflection will create better thinking during all written work, knowing that our work
needs to be legible and formatted and understandable if we want our intended readers to appreciate it.

Today, your child should have brought home their race car fluency passage that we've been using for
practice. They need to read that to someone at home tonight and it should be written on the homework sheet.

Thanks for your support at home!! Our second word wall test is on Friday.
