Every misspelled word on the pre-test must be written 3 times each. Look for the Spelling Notebook, it is tan with red spiral binding.

Remember, when listening to your child read, use the strategies that we have been working on in school. Refer to the page sent home.


Math…

A bit of a mix-up with the substitute last week has caused the assessment to be moved to Tuesday. Look for the review page today. The children have been doing really well with this Topic so I feel they will do great on the test.

We will begin Topic 4 on Wednesday. It is addition and subtraction strategies. We have already been working on memorizing our addition facts.

In Language Arts, things will be slowing down. We will take a week to work on one story. This means now you will see a Spelling Notebook coming home. When the students are Pre-assessed on the list, the words that need to be studied will be found in this notebook. If the student has all of the words correct, then he/she will not need to take the final test. I will let you, know by way of these newsletters, when the final tests will take place.

Decodable readers are being sent home today. Please listen to your child read these to you. He/She should be able to sound out all words in the books. The readers are to be kept at home.

I have listened to the class read the vocabulary words. Overall, they did very well. Any student who brought home flashcards should review them. There will be new words added to the notebook on Friday.

Book 1 will come home on Wednesday. Listen to your child read any/all stories. These may be added to your reading log. Please send this back to school on Thursday.

We are coming to the end of Topic 2, Understanding Subtraction. Please review all pages, especially the Reteaching page that comes home on Thursday. The assessment will be on Friday.

Thursday is Picture Re-Take Day. If you were not happy with your pictures, you may return them and have your child photographed again.

Homework is to read any book your child is interested in every day and then add it to your reading log.

Follow the Spirit Day Dress Ups information that was sent home on Friday.

In Language Arts, we will continue to pre assess the remaining spelling words with short vowels. Also, the last two sets of words will be written in the vocabulary notebooks. It will benefit your child to listen to him/her read these a few times a week. I will be listening to them read all of these words by the end of the week.

There will be two comprehension assessments this week. The children will have the opportunity to complete these on their own first, then if necessary, I will read it to them.

We are always working on our reading strategies. Please refer to the page I sent home when reading with your child. When you use the same language at home as they hear in school, it will really solidify the strategies and make them become automatic when they read independently.

Subtraction continues through this week. The lessons focus on subtraction stories. Please look over the pages that come home.

Please send back the September Reading Logs tomorrow, after that the books will be used for the October Log.

Homework is to read any book your child is interested in every day and then add it to your reading log.
