1. Oakman Folder- sign Behavior calendar for FEBRUARY!!!  ***Amazing job on posters AND presentations today!!! Posters will be on display in the hallway and students will get to take them home TOMORROW!

1. Reading bag- 40 TOTAL NEW SIGHT WORDS ARE IN THEIR BAGS— come, for, are, said, this, 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!* TEST OVER ALL 40 words will be when we come back from Mid-Winter break!!!*
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 4 Book, Lesson 7— homework helper is on page 27 and homework is on page 29 (Try “challenge” on the back!)

5. Spelling Notebook:

• Spelling words are glued into your child’s spelling notebook. We will have our test on Friday, February 14th!!!

• Tuesday: Consonants/Vowels!
  • Write each spelling word using one color for consonants and another color for vowels. Repeat 2 times.

6. POEM BOOKS ARE BACK!!!!!!!! Please read and discuss 100th day poem!!

7. NEW library books were chosen today. Students can keep at home and return after Mid-Winter break (Monday, Feb. 24) and we will check out new books on Tuesday, Feb. 25.

Reminders:

Wednesday is mix-match day, mix up your socks or your shirt and pants.

Friday will be our Valentine’s Day Party at school. Students are asked to make 22 Valentine cards to pass to their friends (such as picture below). I am asking that students bring in a shoe box by Friday so that we can decorate them with stickers to make a “mailbox” to keep all their cards from their friends!

Thanks for all you do!!!!🙂

Love,

Mrs. Rawson
