Today, the new spelling list was pre-assessed. If your child had all the words correct, you will not see this TAN notebook. For the children who had errors, these words should be reviewed for the assessment. This will not take place until next Monday, due to the Data Delay.

Please continue to read/review the words in the BLUE notebook. These words are just to read, not spell. They will be written in the blue notebook Tuesday. This is our fourth set of words. After we have all six sets of words, I will listen to each student read these to me, so keep reviewing them.

On Friday a decodable reader will be sent home to read for fluency. This will not need to be returned. Fluency is when it is read smoothly with expression and is understood.

Topic 4 is Addition and Subtraction Facts to 12. Please review all papers that come home. We will be working on strategies used to add and subtract. Your child will choose the strategy that works best for him/her. Our goal is to get the right answer, so however we reach that is an individual choice. Eventually, these will be memorized, that is why it is so important to learn these simple facts now. Keep practicing doubles and plus 1 facts.

Don’t Forget! Reading any material that interests your child is excellent. This is considered HOMEWORK every single day. After reading the book, add it to the Reading Log. When reading or listening to your child read, remember to use those strategies that we have worked on since the start of the school year. (Check for Understanding, Use the Pictures, Flip the Sound, and so many more…)

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 Green Signature Page and Return Folders on Monday!**

I hope you have an astounding week!
