Today your child will have our first list of spelling words in their backpacks. We will work on these words in class, but please help your child with these words at home. You can count spelling word practice as part of your child's 20 minutes of reading. The spelling test will be this Friday.
Mrs. Neil, helped me today with those students that have returned their Sight Word Lists #1. She sent home Sight Word List #2 home with your child if they "passed off" List #1. If List #1 was returned to your child, they weren't quite there yet. Please help your child with these sight words. I will have her test all students this Friday on Sight Word List #1 even if you haven't returned the List. These will be scored and entered into your child's grades. Sight word aromaticity is so important! Please practice these nightly with your child.
In math we are concentrating on number words and number recognition as well as tally marks and number patterns. I have also realized as we've been working that we need to work on right and left and we'll work on that this week also. I will test on number word knowledge at the end of this week. We will start our Go Math lessons the day after Labor Day. I'm still hoping that we can complete the homework portion in class, but watch for math homework to possibly start coming home after Labor Day.
We have had a couple of birthdays in class already. Remember that you can send in a birthday treat with your child on their birthday. If your child's birthday falls on the weekend we will celebrate their birthday the following Monday. We have 23 students in our class right now. If your child's birthday falls in the summer months, I will have a day in May that we celebrate all summer birthdays.
We had our first library day last Friday. We did not check out books yet. Your child will be allowed to check out two books this Friday. Watch for those to come home and take advantage of reading books to your child that they picked out. Please make sure that your child returns those books by the following Friday.
Remember that next Monday is Labor Day. Have a wonderful holiday!
Happy Reading!!
