Good Evening, Room 36 Families!

Welcome back! I hope you all had a relaxing Thanksgiving Break.  (I stayed away from my LAUSD email last week, so I will be catching up on any messages over the next couple days.) 

Don't forget: Tomorrow is Make Up Picture Day! If your child was absent for the date in October, or needs to retake their school photo, tomorrow is the day.

The 4th Grade Chorus will be performing at Brentwood's 100th Year Anniversary Celebration this Saturday!  The Chorus will sing at 12:15 p.m.  If your child is in the Chorus, please make sure they are here by 12:00 so they can line up to perform. Chorus members should wear a white button down shirt and black or dark pants (girls have the option of wearing a skirt.)

(Chorus students had an extra long rehearsal today, so they missed our homework review.) 

Room 36 took their diagnostic test on the Reading Counts/SRI site today, and I will be sending them home with a suggested reading list this week.  This is very exciting, because now that their Lexile level has been assessed, it will be easy to choose books at an appropriate reading level.  From now on, at least one of their library books needs to be from this list -- or at a comparable Lexile level. Students will be taking reading assessments once a week to check their independent reading comprehension. (This will replace reading logs.)

Homework:
- Read 20 minutes + reading log
- Math worksheet: lattice multiplication
- Metaphor packet (lavender): first page
