This Week's Happenings

4/10/17

Monday: Day 3 > Music Class
Tuesday: Day 4 > Computer Class
Wednesday: Day 5 > Library Class
Thursday: Day 6 > Art Class
Friday: No School

The new spelling list is in the TAN notebook today. If your child brought it home, please review it for the test next week. As of now, it will be Tuesday. Last week’s list on –ly and –ful were difficult for some students. Due to the low grades, there will be homework this week, writing any misspelled words 3 times each. This will begin today and continue each night until the test.

The second Reading Fluency check will be sent home in the Friday Folder. If your child did not reach the 47 word goal on either check, there will be many more chances to come. Keep Reading!

Continue to review the vocabulary words in the BLUE notebook. We now have all of the Book 4 words. I will begin listening to the children read them to me this week.

On Thursday, a decodable reader will be sent home. Read this several times for fluency. Sign and send it back on Monday if your child is one of the students who read it to me.

Our new math topic is on time. We will be telling time to the hour and half hour. Review all of the pages that come home.

Keep working on addition facts. Use the flashcards to gain fluency. We completed a 46 problem page last week. The students had 2 minutes and there were 4 children who reached the goal! Concentrate on the facts with sums to 9.

Don’t Forget! Your child should be reading all stories to you. This is considered HOMEWORK every single day. After reading the book, add it to the Reading Log. When listening to your child read, remember to use those strategies that we have worked on since the start of the school year.

**Review Friday Folder material, sign the page and return on Monday.**

I hope you have a first-rate week!

Monday (4/17) will be Day 7 > Phys. Ed. (Don’t forget your sneakers.)
