1. Oakman Folder- sign and return behavior calendar for JANUARY!! See papers from today including card for ZEARN LOG IN… please review them and take them out of folders (keep at home). Only paper left in folder should be behavior calendar and the NWEA scores grid and goals that are taped inside. Thank you!

ZEARN is a great way to EXTEND math learning at home as students can progress through the lessons and even begin 1st grade math concepts <— this is a great fun way to practice math skills beyond kindergarten and get above grade-level scores on NWEA!!!!!

1. Reading bag- 35 TOTAL NEW SIGHT WORDS ARE IN THEIR BAGS one, little, play, me, here, am, do, not, who, with— I, like, the, see, we, go, can, she, a, at, is, was, will, he, has, on, in, and, you, up, look, it, my, to, and dog. Practice each night to MEMORIZE THESE WORDS!* Practice spelling the words if your child can read them. Spelling will start next week!! (A letter will be sent home with words on Monday!!!)
2. READING GROUP BAG — READ everyday and focus on fluency and comprehension. *If your child did not get a new book, focus on RETELLING— new books will not be given everyday so more focus can be on comprehension. To move UP reading levels students need to be able to read the words accurately and COMPREHEND (understand what I read). After reading books, please practice using the handout for the “retelling rope” see picture below!! (Don’t forget to ask your child– what was your favorite part of the story and WHY? or what did this story remind you of?)

4. Math Homework-MODULE 3 Lesson 32 Our last lesson in module 3 on page 325 (homework helper is on page 323). Tomorrow I will be one-on-one testing for the end of the module. We will start Module 4 on Monday.

5. Spelling Notebook: We are building our words.
