>>Monday, May 8 will be an extended school day by 30 minutes.<< Spelling homework will be given today. If your child brings home a paper, please have him/her write each misspelled word 3 times. Any child who was not there to take the pretest should write every word one time. The spelling test will not be until next week. (No homework on Thursday or Friday.) Continue to review the words in the BLUE notebook. We will just be adding the third set this week. (Sorry if the note last week confused anyone.) Those students who missed words from Books 3 and 4 will be reading them to me. Reading Fluency checks will take place once a week for the students who need to read 47 words in a minute. The best practice for this is to read, so keep reading! Collecting data, completing graphs and interpreting graphs will continue in math. We will not be assessing this topic until next week. Please look over the pages that come home. FIELD TRIP – Thursday I will send home a reminder on Wednesday. If you haven’t already, send back the permission slip tomorrow. Your child will not be able to attend if this is not returned. Look over the information you received on Friday and if you have any questions please contact me. sbisco@northschuylkill.net or 570 874 3661 ext 3223 Another Math Fact Fluency check will be completed this week. We did not have any students reach the goal last week . Please review the facts with sums to 9, these are the only problems they need to know for this goal. I am hoping that the one or two children that are so close, make it to the top this week! Don’t Forget! Your child should be reading all stories to you. This is considered HOMEWORK every single day. Reading Logs were sent home today. They will be collected before the end of May, so read as much as you can. I will let you know when they are due. **Review Friday Folder material, sign the page and return on Monday.** I hope you have a dazzling week! Monday (5/8) will be Day 2 > Phys. Ed.
