Hi! Thank you to all the parents who were so prompt to return report cards. Also, some parents asked about the recent book your child may have come home with on Tuesday. This book is solely for enjoyment (no need to complete book report). We finally have a library teacher!!!! Therefore, the students visited the library on Tuesday and she allowed them to checkout a book. Students will need to bring that book back on Tuesday to checkout a different book. Yay for finally having the school library open!!!!

Spelling: Spelling practice test (I am sending a worksheet where you can have your child record the word on correct category)

Hi!
Even though we had 8 students missing today, we still had a wonderful and productive day! I completely understand in keeping your child home if they are sick, we don't want to spread the germs. However, please understand that every day they miss of school they are missing valuable information. Monday's and Friday's are especially important since we get all our new words, story, and poems for the week on Mondays and then assessment day on Friday. Today in Math we also started our unit on Geometry!!!

Homework:
Spelling: master copy and 3 times each (press, pry, prime, spring, truck, try, trunk, string, dress, drink, draw, dry, brush, brick, bring)

Phonics: worksheet long i

Math: on sorting and classifying shapes

Reading: practice reading and practice sight words (think, going, new, came, please, into, ride, ate, ask, give)
