We Need Vocabulary...STAT

Our future doctors got some hands-on practice today.
Fourth graders operated on their patients using their knowledge of roots words, prefixes, and suffixes to find a remedy. Students worked collaboratively to analyze the word parts to figure out the word defined on the patient. Each student had a particular job: Patient Prepper, Surgeon, Stitcher, and Supervisor. Once all of the patients had been helped the doctors shared their remedies with the class. |

St. James Catholic School students have done it again!
For the fourth straight year, we have been recognized as an Accelerated Reader Honor School! In addition, many of our classes (10 and counting) have earned the distinction of being Accelerated Reader Honor Roll classes.
Students read independently at least 25 minutes everyday and show comprehension of 85% or higher on the books that they read by taking a short quiz. In order to be an Honor Roll class, all students need to do their share.
Our students and teachers have worked hard all year in order to achieve these goals. We commend their dedication to literacy and personal growth. 400%

Dear Families,
I want your child to be a successful reader—and for that, I need your help. When children choose their own books to read for pleasure, they enjoy reading more and spend more time doing it. The more your child reads, the better they will do in school and in life. Scholastic Book Clubs flyers are made for you and your child to shop for books your child will love to read. Each month, the flyers are filled with trusted, excellent quality, age-appropriate books chosen by Scholastic for prices as low as one dollar. Plus you will be helping our class when you order: Scholastic matches each order you place with FREE BOOKS for our classroom to share. Thank you for helping your child become a successful reader. Sincerely, Ms. Wheatley
