Tuesday folder - look over your child's work, sign, and send back to school (keep business related fliers)
Be sure library books are at school daily!
Encourage your child to Always do his/her best!

Homework is Monday through Friday. They will have spelling daily and other subjects periodically. Occasionally, a week long project is expected.

Monday - ABC order
Tuesday - Sentence writing with spelling words
Wednesday - Words three times each
Thursday - Study for spelling test on Friday

Our AR goal each nine weeks is 12 points! A few advanced readers have higher points to attain. However, at 12 points that requires approximately two .5 books passed per week. Please help your child to keep up with this. Also, your child must read at their independent level with 85% accuracy. The AR reports keep you up with these changes. Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions.
Keep reviewing the 500 words from the high frequency word list. Each student will be tested on reading and spelling each of these words throughout the year.
PLEASE help your child learn/memorize all of their multiplication facts. We are using these skills daily to tackle division and fractions. Also, look over word problems with your child.

We have high expectations for all of our students at Koontz Elementary! Please feel free to ask questions between now and the EOG tests, if needed.Thanks for being part of our TEAM this year!

Sincerely,
Sheila Benfield
