Important Dates \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 14 & 15 – NWEA computer reading tests will be on Tuesday\nand Wednesday next week,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Please be sure that students\ncome in the morning on those days and get sleep and eat breakfast.  I bring in a small \u00bd bagel and juice for\nthose days.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please make sure that your child has been reading and you are helping\nthem understand main ideas and sounding out words. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Friday, January 17 -1\/2 day \u2013\nmorning only <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday January 22 and Thursday, January 23- NWEA computer math test<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, January 20 (Martin Luther King Day) and \u00bd day on January 21-<\/strong>\nNo school &\n\u00bd day of school <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help your child practice for the computer tests, please try prepdog,\nif you have a computer.  Thank-you if\nyour child has been trying these practice tests, but if you could go over what\nthey miss, it would help them learn more. \nThank-you, if you are doing this.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Math help- <\/strong>Try this Eureka math help and games to make your child a top math\nstudent- <\/strong>https:\/\/bit.ly\/35QeXMc<\/strong><\/a>     It is also on my BLOG.    Math concepts are going to be quickly\nreviewed or introduced (we will go over them in more depth later in the year)\nin the next week and a half, but they should all be doing their addition and\nsubtraction homework that we have been working on.  They will score higher on the computer tests\nif they know about these concepts; addition, subtraction, money, time,\nmeasurement, shapes, fractions, and understand multiplication and\ndivision.  Again, we will get to all of\nthis, but I just mention it for a short week and half, right now.  Please talk about these at home, also.  Use computer sites (see BLOG) to practice, if\nyou have a computer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCIENCE – <\/strong>We are learning about bodies of water and landforms (earth\nscience) in our unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPELLING WORDS FOR NEXT WEEK ARE some more consonant\ndigraph words.   Please\ncontinue to point out the pattern of the spelling words each week and help your\nchild discover words with these patterns in their reading.  Soon, your child will be pointing these out\nto you, if they do not already.  A good\nidea is to get a blank notebook and keep a list.  Send them in for extra credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words will be: chick, shop, when, think, thin, chop,\nship, thing, whip, then, with, dish, each, itch, stich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Studies<\/strong>–\nOur unit is, \u201cWhere my community and what is is it like?  Ask your child to name the transportation\nthat they see in their community.  What\nare the physical\/natural characteristics that they see in their community\n(grass, river, trees, hills\u2026)?  We are\nlearning the positive and negative consequence\nto an action (such as littering has negative consequences).   We will have a test next week.  <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
