Welcome!

Here are a few things to look forward to in the week ahead! Our snack helper for the week is Dalton Dooley! Thank you Dalton D.!

Homework

Your child will receive a Homework reading log. Please read at least 15 minutes nightly with your child and initial the reading log (in the HW folder). Your student will receive a fluency reader that we will be reading in class (Book 4). You may read this with him/her every night and log it in the reading log. Please practice the fluency passage, Can We Go? every night. This week, students will need to practice writing letter Hh. The sight words to practice for the week are: my, to, we, and can.J Please make flash cards of the sight words and practice them with your child each night. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR YOUR CHILD TO PRACTICE SIGHT WORDS AND FLUENCY EACH NIGHT. We practice daily in class, but your child needs support at home as well. To meet the sight word standard, all students must know 100 sight words by the end of the year. Several children are already behind with only 12 words being introduced. It is very difficult to catch up………PLEASE practice these words every night! I will assess their ability to recognize the words on Friday!

PHONICS & READING

This week we will be looking at the letter Hh. We are still working on writing our name. Thank you for working on this at home. We are learning to predict the outcome of a story by looking at the pictures and reading the title.

MATH

We are focusing on numbers 1-10. We are learning the concept of more/less.
