The ‘Get the Egg!’ assessment was the first test for the students to read independently. They did a fantastic job! Look for these in the Friday Folder. Please review it, sign it and send it back on Monday.


The new story “Animal Park” was introduced last week. We will continue to discuss the phonics skills which are short u and final consonant blends. The book will come home on Wednesday. Review pages 150 and 152. Also the high-frequency words are home, many, them, into >these can be reviewed on page 151. Read the story with your child and listen to them read it to you.


The Decodable Reader “At the Pond” will be in the take-home folder on Tuesday. Please listen to your child read it several times mistake free. This will give him/her practice with the phonics skills we are studying. Also, the fluency that comes with rereading will increase. Remember to sign it and send it back to school on Wednesday.


The spelling test for anyone who needs to take it will be Thursday.


We will continue the new topic in math, Addition and Subtraction Facts to 12. The children will get a set of flashcards. We will add to them as the chapter progresses. They will be in your child’s take-home folder, in a separate envelope. These need to come back to school everyday. So just like the vocabulary cards, please keep them in their folders. Thank you!


Please keep reading every day. Choose a book or story that your child likes. Practicing reading is the key to becoming a great reader!
