*Today pictures were sent home. Orders are due Friday, October 24. I am not sure when retakes will be taking place but once I know, I will make sure to post it on the blog.

*CASI: Today I sent home the first Grade 5 CASI that the class completed. We spent an entire block today going over each question and examples of each level. During this time, students were asked to use a coloured pen/pencil to add to their answers to try to bump them up to a level 3 or level 4. 

This CASI is being used as a baseline to see where everyone is at and if students used the pointers they were given after completing a Grade 4 CASI in September (which we reviewed but I did not send home). This is not the only thing I am looking at for the Progress Reports. The level for each question is in purple and the overall level for the entire CASI is on the front page in pink. Students are asked to have this CASI signed and returned as soon as possible.

*Progress Reports go home on Tuesday, October 28.

*Tomorrow (Friday) we will be doing Reading Buddies since we weren't able to do it on Wednesday. Students are invited to bring one or two stories to school tomorrow that they would like to read to their buddy.
