Weekly Update: September 15-19

Letterland:

Please look over the spelling test with your child.  If words were spelled incorrectly it was counted wrong.  One point was deducted for incorrect use of capitals, not capitalizing names, or writing letters backwards.  Please use Letterland homework time to discuss these mistakes and have your child make corrections.

Reading:

This week we will focus on setting reading goals and starting our data notebooks.  We will continue reading stations as I pull small groups to work on data notebooks.

Poem of the Week:
Sorry!  I forgot to post our poem last week.  Oops!

Here is our poem for this week:

Your child should have a book-in-a-bag in their book bag starting Monday.  Please make sure you complete the reading log or AR (Accelerated Reader) log inside the blue folder each night.  If your child is reading a level E or higher he/she is expected to take at least two AR tests a week.  Just check the "Ready to Test?" box when your child is ready for an AR test.

Math:

We are finishing up our first math unit.  We will have our first math test on Thursday!  Please review partner numbers of the numbers 1-10 with your child.

Don't forget to have your child complete math homework each night.  So far, everyone has been turning in math homework each day!  You guys are awesome!! :)
