In Ca, see below. We work on what they need daily. Academy of Reading: Justin B is the big winner this week with over 8 trophies!!! Go Justin. The rest of the class have won 3 and up. I am so proud of them and their progress. They have come to work on it during CA's and during homeroom to get ahead. A lot of learning is taking place and they are truly enjoying the computer. I have had to work with a few with rhyming, and ending sounds in words. Please say words while you are in the car and ask your cgild to either ryhme with you or start a word with the sound of the word that you say. ( Make learning fun!!) Also, focus on short vowels and consonants. I will work on the blends and diagraphs in my class. Each day will will still have a sound check for spelling words and I will try to fit in a couple days of SRA while still completing the reading on the computer. However, we need to have a certain number of minutes logged in each week per student or we will lose the program. Our school was chosen as a pilot program and if you like what you see, please write or email Mr. Pittman a big thank you because without him, we wouldn't have this opportunity.
CA- Each day we will have essential questions in every core subject. We will focus on math review, science,LA and social studies this week. There is no spelling test this week so we will not go over the words for next time but I think I will have them make a study guide for next weeks test for extra credit. We will go over SS questions and Spiral math reviews for reinforcement. We will also complete drills in multiplication because many are having difficulty on the math problems because of lack of basic skill knowledge. Try some rfeview at home and see where your student is. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Week of October 13 Review words this week. This week we will review the words from the past 8 weeks and concentrate on the sounds and words that we missed. I am also very excited to announce a great program that we will be doing at Holly Ridge that we hope to be up and running on Monday. The program is called Reading Academy. It is a computer based program that teaches students at their level unitl they reach automaticity. It compliments the SRA program and students will still be given spelling words each week as well as their morning warm ups. I will work with groups in SRA while some are on the computer and then change groups so each child has more attention from me and Ms. Rountree. All of my students seem to be making progress that is all possible from the support that you give them at home. Homework has been pretty regular (aside from this week) and each student has made growth based on pretest results. I am proud of each and everyone of them and it is great that they are so motivated to learn. *****Wanted******* School board member Ron Margitta is looking desperately for a parent to serve on the parent advisory board for Wake County.

Included with the progress notes, I will write each of you a letter for areas to work on and include my phone numbers again. Let's keep communication open!! CA- Progress reports will be sent home. If your student fails to bring in theirs signed, you will be called regarding their progress. Students have been very motivated and most of their grades will reflect effort. They have studied daily in science, social studies, math, and language arts.
