Hello, families!
Here are this week’s announcements…
* Your child brought home their sight
words last week. They will be tested on the week one words this Wednesday. They need to know how to both read AND spell
the words.
*I am going to try something a little
different for spelling this time around.
At home, kids only need to focus on studying the reading and spelling of
the sight words. I will not send home a spelling pattern list.
We need to really be focused on the sight words. If they can’t read the sight words, they will
not improve their reading fluency and comprehension. They need to practice
spelling them because sight words do not follow a specific pattern, so they can’t
rely on that pattern they have memorized to spell. Please have them practice
their words at home each night. We will
continue to work on spelling patterns in class, but at home I really need to
them to focus on the sight words that are highlighted on their list. Thank you!
*Information about our annual district art contest will be coming home on Tuesday. If your child is a little artist, they may be interested in participating!
*Book orders have been placed.
HAVE A
WONDERFUL WEEK, EVERYONE!
