| 5th grade Star In Motion |
Congratulations on a fabulous first week of school! This will be a year of many firsts as a team, for our campus, and for our kids! I was trying to decide if I had a favorite, and I think something Jan posted somewhere would be it: I'm paraphrasing because I can't find it, but it was about our school coming to life when the kids arrived! The buildings are beautiful and the spaces and touches amazing, but it's really the people who make it magical. Thank you for all you do to make Star Academy such an incredible place!

Our grade level differentiation blocks will not begin until October, but we wanted to provide you with the schedule in advance. Your times are based on the preferences provided last year, and you'll notice that one change is that 4th and 5th have separate times. Also, they only run three days a week. On Wednesdays and Fridays, Jan will be available to support you with assessment needs or to provide more intense support. Jose Flores will support pull out sped students during all blocks with the exception of 3rd as he is only on our campus in the mornings. He will work with 3rd grade to schedule pull outs for your students. We will discus this in detail on the 26th of September. In the meantime, Jan will be available starting next week (September 8th) to asses new students for ELA (fluency and BPST 1st & 2nd) during these times. Jessica Benz will provide support to 1st grade during their block.
Each week in this blog, we will feature something to do with reading! Something new this year will be monthly read-alouds --one book read aloud to our whole school. Amy and I will be choosing a book to read to each class on our whole school. We are so excited! This will kick off in September. Reading really is our super power. Leave a comment on the blog! What are you reading?

I picked up where I left off in The Phantom Tollbooth (main character is Milo :) I had to read it!) I was so happy I did! It was so nice to relax and take a break from thinking about my class :)
ReplyDeleteI am nearing the conclusion of The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss for my personal reading, but in class we read The Seven Chinese Brothers. Afterwards one of the students brought in her own book, The Seven Chinese Sisters, which is a slightly more contemporary take on the story, and she read it to the class.
