Weekly Update

 Good Afternoon Parents,

What a busy week it has been! We completed our first SOL today on Reading and will prepare for our VA Studies one next week. The class did a nice job of taking their time and trying their best. I know how tiring they can be, especially the reading one! 

We also welcomed our Capstone student, Dalya Al Khalaf (who is Mrs. Hani’s daughter) from Freedom High School into our room. She will be with us for the next couple of weeks. The students are enjoying getting to know her and working in small groups with her.

Boosterthon Fundraiser
Our class is doing AMAZING with the Boosterthon! As of today, we have raised $2,110! Our class is currently in 2nd place! The students have earned a ‘No Homework Week’ for their hard work on the Boosterthon! So there will be no additional homework this week! I will still encourage them to read each night.

Focus Areas for the this week:

• Reading:  We will begin our SOL test prep unit where we will begin learning some test taking strategies while reviewing the skills covered in reading and writing this year.
