Homework News
I am sending home take home books with your child. Please read these books with your child and fill out the reading log. Send the book back each day so your child may get a new one. Once your child has a complete page of books on the reading log they will get a ticket for a special treat. Don't forget to practice book and print nightly. This assessment will be here before we know it.
Homework will also be sent home weekly on Mondays. Homework
has to be turned in by the Friday of the same week.
Please also look through your child's BEE book and check their agendas and sign them daily. This is how we communicate back and forth and I like to make sure you are informed on behavior, and any information needed.
We are working on learning our Rainbow Words. This sheet is in the Bee book for you to use to help your child learn the different levels of words. Please do not mark on this sheet because I use that as my assessment tool. Please work on reading and writing these words with your child each night.
Remember!!! When sending money to school be sure to place it in an envelope or baggie with your child's name, what the money is for and lunch number if necessary.
Writer's Workshop
This is a time during the day that the students learn to be authors. We are continuing to work on writing small moment stories but making them more focused and having details.We are working on using spaces, capital letters, punctuation and spelling words as correctly as possible. Still encourage your child to sound out the word and not to focus on correct spelling, but how it sounds phonetically. Writing can also be done at home as well as school. Their writing is getting better and better each day. Encourage your child to look at everything as a potential story! You will be amazed at what they can do!!
