This Week's Happenings

9/23/19

Monday: Day 4 > Art
Tuesday: Day 5 > Phys. Ed.
Wednesday: Day 6 > Computers
Thursday: Day 7 > Music
Friday: Day 8 > Art

The first Spelling List was introduced today. The words are written in a green notebook. If your child brings the notebook home that means he/she needs to practice spelling the words for the test on Friday. If this notebook does not come home, your child got 100% on the pretest and does not need to take the final test.

Any misspelled words on the pretest must be written 3 times each. This will be homework every day until the test on Friday.

Your children will also be assessed on their phonics skills. We will be concentrating on short a and ck this week. You can help your child by reviewing words that have short a and ck. The letters ck follow a short vowel, like sack and pick.

A decodable reader, Jack and Dad Pack, will be sent home on Thursday. Homework is to listen to your child read this to you.

Graphs, number sequence and ten frames will be the topics of math for the week. The children will be assessed on some of the skills they have been working on for the last 2 weeks.

This week your child will bring home a progress report. Please do not be alarmed that there will not be a Reading grade given at this time. As you know, we have just begun spelling and reading this week. Our time has been very well spent building our independent working muscles so that small group instruction goes as smoothly as it possibly can.


Homework is to read any material with your child, at least once a day.

Please sign and date the page on the back of the Friday Folder, thank you!

I hope you have a magnificent week!

Monday (9/30) will be Day 1 > Phys. Ed.
