Weekly Update Dec. 9-13,2019


Important information: I will be at a conference in Harrisburg on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Please contact me through Dojo if you have any questions or concerns on those days.

We are beginning a new text book story this week, so there will be a new spelling list tonight. Continue to practice reading the H.F.W. lists each night. (Blue notebook) Also, there may be some leveled reading books coming home for extra practice with your child. These books are intended to give your child more practice on their current success level. Five minutes of reading usually will be all that they need. Contact me if you have any questions.

We have been learning these sound chunks over the past 13 weeks; so, to make reading more interesting, pick out 3 to find in the story that they read to you each night. * ee, ea, sh, ch, th, ck, ng, oo, ow, oa, ai, ay, or, er, y, a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, u-e

We are working on addition and subtraction with Fact Families, in Unit 3 and testing will be done at the end of the week. We will continue to work on subtraction from 9 in spring math.

Monday (Day 5) Library class; Check for spelling corrections and write any errors 3 times each, every night until the test on Friday. Read the word lists in the blue notebook.

Tuesday (Day 6) Phys. Ed. class; read the H.F.W., have your child read to you and have them retell 3 important facts about the story (what happened at the beginning, middle and end)

Wednesday (Day 7) Music class; read the H.F.W., have your child read to you, name the characters, setting (where the story mostly takes place), was the story real, made-up but could happen, or make believe

Thursday (Day 8) Art class; read to your child so they hear fluency and expression

Friday (Day 1) Computer class; Practice reading over the weekend and practice sub. from 9
*Please check the Friday Folder for important papers to keep; then sign and date the front sheet of the folder. Send the folder back to class the next school day.

I hope you have a wonderful week!
