Mrs. Pellin's Post
April 6th to April 10th

This week the first graders will read a book about mother and baby owls. We will learn how mother owls take care of their babies and write about how the mothers protect them.

This week the second graders will read about what happens if the power goes out in your house and the steps each family should take.

Both of the reading groups will start a writing project about "Who am I?" The children will write clues about themselves and the parents will have to guess which project belongs to their child when they come to open house. The children will also continue to work on "Word Wall" words and we will play spelling games. The students are mastering many words from their "Word Wall" list.

Center Cass School District # 66 is in the process of implementing an Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) mandate, Response of Intervention (RTI). RTI is an array of procedures that can be used to determine if and how students respond to specific changes in instruction. RTI provides an improved process and instruction for school teams in designing, implementing, and educational interventions.
