Book Order forms will go home monthly with a due date. You may order online(there's a freebie if you order online and your order is $25) or send in a check(made out to Scholastic) with the books you are ordering. We are NOT allowed to accept cash for book orders.
Extra Class Supplies: I have an Amazon Wish list (Mrs. Zanca's Classroom Needs) for classroom supplies. These are things I would like to have - if you would like to donate. Thanks so much.
Lexia: Your student is responsible for completing a minimum of 40 minutes per week online. This CAN be done at home using their chromebook. Lexia Core 5 is on their portal. I am fine if they choose to do this instead of during class time. In fact I would highly recommend it. We have a lot of activities packed into our day - so this would open up some opportunities for the students to dive deeper into literacy skills. Some students are not making their minimum requirement. Please encourage them to do so. This is a great program that fills in any gaps they may have in the areas of reading fluency, comprehension, phonemic awareness and grammar. It is a program that our PTO has graciously agreed to assist in the funding. We need to use the awesome resource. I have seen students grow 2-3 years in reading using this program for the past few years.
Homework: Please make sure your child is reading and completing 5 entries on their reading log. These are due to the first day of the following week. We may have grammar or social studies homework occasionally. Please check their assignment books.
