I apologize for not getting spelling tests back to you sooner. I have had to wait for software to be installed to my computer for grades.
Math:
We are continuing our work on Place Value this week.
Valentines Day:
We will be getting ready to make our Valentine's containers next week. We need each student to bring in an empty one gallon milk container that has been washed out really well :). If you can send in more than one, that would be helpful too :). I will send home the list of names from our class tomorrow so that you can start working on those at home.
Homework:
Our homework is changing. We will be sending home weekly fluency passages for your student to work on each day. Please have them do five 1 minute timings of it. The purpose of this is NOT to read through it so quickly that they don't understand what they read. The purpose of this is to provide repetitions of our sight words in context so that they can practice reading with expression. Encourage your student to pause at punctuation and read sentences the same way they talk. This is a separate homework grade and is so important because it really does help them read well! The five minutes of reading this passage each night DOES count towards their twenty minute total.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
