This week’s spelling words are the long and short /i/ sound:  bit, with, his, item, ideas

Remember that there will be 5 additional “mystery words” that follow the same spelling patterns for the long and short /i/ sound included on this Friday’s test.

Bonus/Challenge words:  chart, solve, fiction, sound, Michigan

Please make sure your child is reading 15-20 minutes every night and filling out their Student Reading Log.  Every student who fills in their log for Monday-Thursday will get a blue “pack pride” ticket added to our basket.

Snow School is continuing to follow the PBIS behavior system that was implemented last year.  You can find a copy of the PBIS matrix in the front of your child’s student planner.  We are always reviewing the expectations in school, but it would be helpful if parents reviewed the expectations at home as well.  Starting today, students will color the card color they had in class each day in their student planner.  Green is “great job”, yellow is a warning, orange is filling out a think sheet, red is phone call or note home.  Encourage your child to stay on green every day.

Continue to sign your child’s student planner on a daily basis.  It is an important communication tool between school and home.  If you ever have any questions you can email me at shenew@dearbornschools.org .
