Homework:
Every Monday, your child will recieve a homework packet. I have included a recommended schedule, but homework can be completed in any order. I suggest reading the Backpack Page every night to help improve fluency! Please continue reading 15 minutes every night with your child. The fluency page can count towards the 15 minute nightly reading requirement. Memory words(found at the bottom of this post) are high-frequency words that children are taught to recognize by sight. These words are either phonetically irregular and can't be decoded, or they contain letter sounds that haven't been taught yet. Practicing memory words on a regular basis can help improve your child's reading!  Students will also have their first spelling test this Friday.  Please select a spelling activities from the menu to complete with your child.  Homework packets are due Friday.

Memory words:  I, a, the, for, you, like

Spelling words: mop, big, cat, rug, tug, flat, dig, hop, nest, best
              
Other Notes:

• Please make sure you sign your child's planner and initial the behavior chart in the green folder on a nightly basis.
