Spelling words were given today. The test will be on Friday so practice the words that were misspelled on the pretest. These words are in the green notebook.

Vocabulary words will be sent home on Tuesday. Please review these new words, in the blue notebook, as well as the last few groups given. These need to be read orally only.

The Topic 5 math assessment on addition fact strategies will be Wednesday. The review page will be sent home on Tuesday. Remember to go over the strategies but also practice the addition facts to 20.

Topic 6 will begin on Thursday. This topic is on subtraction and strategies used to find subtraction facts.

The tests for phonics and comprehension will be on Friday. They will be in next week’s folder. The students are reading the story section on their own. When we begin the third marking period, the whole test will be completed independently. The students will be responsible for reading the story, questions and answers by themselves.

Homework is always to read every night with your child. Have your son/daughter read to you and you read to them. Their reading skills will only get better with practice. Completing this homework assignment will help your child with the comprehension skills needed to do well on the assessments.

-Don’t forget that our room is chilly at times. Please send in a jacket, sweatshirt or sweater WITHOUT a hood.

-We will be going outside for recess unless it is raining or below 40 degrees so send your son/daughter with weather appropriate clothing.

**Review Friday Folder material. Sign the back page and return on Monday.**

I hope you have a remarkable week!

Monday will be Day 2 > Phys. Ed. (Sneakers!)
