Dear Parents,

I was so excited to hear that so many of my students attended the carnival.  Hope you had fun and enjoyed it.

Our goals and expectations this week!

Spelling: Our skill this week is vowel digraphs.   We also have five content words.  Friday will be our third official spelling test!   Please have your child review either list A or list B and study the “both” section too.

Math: We are studying telling time to the nearest minute.  Practice real life problems telling time, and have your child complete the homework. Also, students are using Prodigy to practice their math skill.  Your child is encouraged to practice math skills with Prodigy. A username and password paper was sent home last Thursday.

Reading: Read every night for 20-30 minutes, and ask and answer comprehension questions.  Reading logs and responses should be filled for each time they read.  Return logs Monday.

Writing: We are writing a personal narrative.

Also, writing prompts will come home after the vacation.  Students will write a paragraph about the prompt given using the who, what, when, where, why, and how to write a minimum of 5-8 complete sentences.  Students will have to plan, write first draft, revise, edit, and publish for homework every week.  Please review their writing by having them read it aloud to you.

If I didn’t meet your yet, please stop by to say hi.  I would love to say hello.
