Notes following WEEK 6 

PARENT CONFERENCES - I look forward to seeing you at our conference this week.

PHONICS - This week we will learn the sounds/spellings: /w/; /wh/; /r/ spelled er, ir, ur; and /sh/.

Keep reading those white books and yellow word lines at home.  Reading them regularly will help your child become better readers.  

Accelerated Reader:  When a student reads a book, s/he is able to take a computer test at school to show that they understood what they read.  I allow students to use the book to verify their answers because it's not about memorizing, it's about reading comprehension. Every morning and during computer lab time, students may take a test.  I announce it every day.  Please encourage them to do this.  There is a trimester award associated with doing well on these tests.  They should pass about 2 tests per week in order to earn the award.

MATH -  Our topic 3 test is Tuesday, and our benchmark test is Wednesday.

P.E. - Our students are learning about nutrition and healthy living this week.

Have a great week!!
