Today we assessed our spelling words, comprehension skills and completed a written response. Look for these in the Friday Folder.

The new spelling list will be pre-assessed on Tuesday. 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.

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 Wednesday. Keep reviewing these. The end of book 2 is close. After we get one more set of words, I will listen to each student read them to me.

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. The subtraction lessons will be taught this week. So far all students are showing that they understand the concept of addition . We will start practicing our Plus 2 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.

I hope you have a dazzling week!
