I hope you all enjoyed your three day weekend! I know I sure did!

Now we have a lot to cover in our short week.

Spelling- the, and, a, to, of, in, it, that, you, is

Please be sure your child can read, write, and spell these words. They are found in all books and will help them to become better readers and writers. You can make it fun too (i.e. write in the sand, make them with playdoh, use shaving cream, or make a game of it in your own way.)

**OUR FIRST SPELLING TEST WILL BE NEXT TUESDAY**

Math- Comparing numbers, counting, problem solving using strategies, and continuing reviewing skills.

**Homework tonight over “Greater Than”**

Reading- I am still assessing in the classroom to get levels and abilities to start guided reading. The students will be working in stations to write, locate vowels, create rhyming words, and to work in cooperative groups. If your reader coming home is too hard or too easy, please work on fluency or help them along. I will know more after the reading assessments are complete.

Phonics- Short and Long vowel sounds

Writing- Interactively writing, making words with certain vowel sounds,  and independently writing in Writer’s Workshop.

Social Studies- Author study over Kevin Henkes. Discussing characters and the story. This is also fits into our CHAMP behavior in the classroom and our school!

Thanks for all that you do.
