Dear Families,

Here is what you need to know for this upcoming week:

• Letter Books:  all the letters have been assigned and should have been completed by this point.  Since we have at least 7 more weeks and extra pages in our letter book, we will be studying the digraph “ch” this week.  Even though they are two letters, it makes one distinct sound.  Your child needs to find 5 pictures that have the “ch” digraph.  It may be placed anywhere in the word.  Examples are:  chips,  March or orchard.  Please make sure your child writes down all the sounds they hear in the word and circle the “ch” digraph in the word, noticing where it is placed in the word.
• Spelling words this week:  fit  bit  hit  sit
• Please make sure that your child returns their Spelling Notebook on Monday.  Each week several students seem to forget their spelling notebooks at home.  Our Spelling Helpers are here to help us on Mondays.  It really puts your child at a disadvantage if they are not prepared.  Thanks for your support.

Monday:  Letter books are sent home.  Your child will take their spelling test. Please have your child return their library books if they have one.  We never made it up to the Media Center last week to check out new books. Wear gym shoes

Tuesday:  We will be rehearsing for our music concert.  We will be going up the Media Center.  We will go to Art.  Our kindergartners will start today on our District Writing Prompt.
