Red Ribbon Week-follow the schedule for each day
Monday and Tuesday will be assessment days in Phonics. The children will be reading a new Fluency Reader to me and showing me their knowledge of the letters and sounds we have studied so far. The new sound for this week is digraph th. Th makes 2 different sounds. Ask your child about them on Wednesday. Review the page that comes home in the take-home folder. The new sight words are their and there.
We are beginning our Reading Series this week. Your child will be bringing home a vocabulary list. Have your child read the words and use them in a sentence. (These words do not need to be spelled.) Next week the Reading book will be sent home to read the story. More information will be on next week’s note.
Spelling List #4 will be sent home today. It would be a great help to review these even though there will not be a formal test. I do have the children spell the words during our Phonics lessons. Spelling words that are grade appropriate is a Common Core Standard that everyone will have to meet before entering 2nd grade.
The new Topic in Math is Five and Ten Relationships. Look for the pages and review this new concept.
Please remember to complete and return the Parent-Teacher Conference Form. It is due Monday, November 4.
The weather is turning colder and recess will be outside unless it is below 40 degrees. Please dress your child to be outside for 30 minutes. You can send in hats, gloves, scarves, etc.
I hope you have a remarkable week!
