Today was our 6th day of school and it has been a great 6 days.  We have been busy learning routines and setting up our reading and writing workshops.  We have been working on math since day 1 and will have a test over chapter 1 Friday or Monday.  I have enjoyed getting to know each student and, don’t tell anyone, but I think I got the absolute best 4th graders on the planet! I will start assessing spelling tomorrow and we will soon be assessing reading levels and starting reading groups.  Students will be brining reading home several nights a week when groups start, this is in addition to math and grammar homework.
