Weekly Update 17-21, 2020

Important information: There will be a paid dress down day on Friday. A one-dollar donation will allow your child to wear a Spartan t-shirt with either jeans or sweat pants.

We are not beginning a new story this week. There will not be a new spelling list tonight. Continue to practice reading the H.F.W. lists each night. Check for leveled readers, 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.

Looking for sound chunks while reading is great practice for the children. New this week; “igh, dge”. Preview the page before reading and have your child find words that have the chunks that you selected. Read the words, then read the story.

We are working on Fact Families sums to 9, in Spring Math. We are continuing Unit 5, and will now be working on fractions. The children will be dividing shapes into halves, fourths, and thirds. They will write, divide shapes and recognize shapes that have already been partitioned.

Monday (Day ) *No School

Tuesday (Day 2) Phys. Ed. class; read the H.F.W. lists, 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 3) Music class; read the H.F.W. lists, have your child read to you, name the characters, setting, was the story fiction, or non-fiction (not new terms, but now being used exclusively)

Thursday (Day 4) Art class; read to your child so they hear fluency and expression.

Friday (Day 5) *Paid dress down day! Library class; practice reading over the weekend and practice sub. from 9 and their related facts.
*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 fantastic week!
