Please check your child's planner for this week's spelling list. Not everyone is on the same list this week, so make sure you are studying the right words.
Reading groups are going great!! PLEASE read with your child every night and make sure the book is returned the next day!
Hope you have a wonderful week!
The secret word this week is FLAG. Please write it in your child's planner (or have them write it). Not everyone is remembering to tell me the word.
I hope everyone had a great weekend! I went to South Carolina to visit my son and his family. My other son and his family were there too! We don't get together very often, so I cherish the times when we do.
We are settling in and getting a routine going.
We began reading groups today, so look for small reading books every day. Please make time to read with your child every day. I thought this chart was interesting. It makes you stop and think!
I have decided to wait for homework packets. This week they should study their spelling words and read the reading group book. Practice writing good sentences with the spelling words. When you read the book, ask your child questions about the story. We are working on sequencing in reading groups this week. Ask them to retell the story in order.
Don't forget the book fair this week!!
