A lot of new Phonics concepts this week. We will start with the Dropping Rule. Look for the page for an explanation. Next will be Diphthongs oi(oil) and oy(toy) and Spelling with both oi and oy. Don’t forget to listen to the children read the words on the front and the words in the box on the back. Remember to sign the paper after you hear the words. We will complete the back in class and any corrections that need to be made will be for homework.


There will be a new spelling list this week. This will be assessed on Friday.


A Decodable Reader will come home to be read for homework this week. It will be in the green folder. Please review/discuss any errors on the page that was completed for homework last week (the ice cream cone worksheet). The children did a very good job. This week there will be another sheet coming home to complete. The children have done these in class before so he/she should not need a great deal of help. After completing the worksheet, please look over it with your child.


We are continually working on accuracy, fluency and comprehension. These are skills needed to be a successful reader. Have your child read the same story to you more than one time to increase his/her fluency. Remember to ask questions.


Topic 12 Length will be assessed this week. We are measuring with cubes and straws. Look for the Reteaching page to come home and review.


Veronica and Fabrizio read very well! The readers this week are Travis, Skylar and Meaghan.


I hope you have a fabulous week!
