The new words in reading are: saw, tree, your, small. Again, these will be assessed orally. The book will come home this week to read “Get the Egg!” Along with reading the story, review the phonics skills on pages 124 and 126. There will be an assessment on all of these concepts next week.

Remember to continue reading any book that interests your child. This will help him/her review all of the reading strategies that we have been working on during the first two months of school. (Check for understanding, back up and reread, flip the sound, cross check, look for interesting words, read several times for fluency, etc.)

The new topic in math is “How can numbers to 10 be shown using 5 and some more?” We will work on ten-frames and addition. Please review the pages and make any corrections necessary. It is a very short chapter. This will be assessed next week.

Our Spelling class has a new format… A pretest will be given prior to getting the list. If your child knows the words then, he/she will not take the test again. This will be sent home during the week. It will be in the take-home folder. The pretest was given last week. There were 5 children who spelled everything correct. When you see the test in the folder, you will know if your child should be reviewing the words for the next assessment. The final test will be next week.

**The children will go outside for recess whenever possible. Please make sure your child is dressed to go out unless it is raining. You may send in gloves, hats, scarves, etc. Thank you!

ALL ASSESSMENTS FROM NOW ON WILL BE SENT HOME IN THE FRIDAY FOLDER. THEY MUST BE SIGNED AND RETURNED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION WITH THIS CHANGE.

Please place your child’s costume in a bag. No need to send in a snack on Friday.

I hope you have a fun-filled week!
Monday will be Day 3>Book Exchange
