Today marked the Opening Ceremonies for the 2009 – 2010 Olympics at McClure.
We reviewed the homework for Monday night, and students were given the assignment for Tuesday night so that we can regain some of the time absorbed by the Olympics and our recent instructional time lost to the unfortunate flood event.
Please download the assignment, if you child is unprepared.

What an eventful week we’ve had! I enjoyed visiting with you at Open House Tuesday night. I know we will have a wonderful year of learning.
Students were given the reading benchmark pretest Wednesday. A posttest will be given at the end of the semester.
Today, we visited the media center where Mrs. Harpin presented an interactive lesson on how to “power search” various genres. Ten of the sixteen items on the Group Scavenger Hunt were examples of non-fiction books. Students appeared to have enjoyed the activity.
I am posting the weekly DGP quiz so students can preview it. It is the last page of the Warm Up Power Point.
Thank you so much for your support. Let’s remember to encourage reading at least 10 pages Sunday through Thursday nights. We will reach our goal of one million words this school year.
