This week in class:
Phonics- Decoding short vowel and story words Spelling-Pretest Monday; First test on Friday (See words below) Reading- "We Like Sports!"/ "At the Pond"- We will focus on reading comprehension and identifying important words in the text. ELA/ Writing- Making lists and writing sentences about favorite activities; Responses to reading Math- Numbers 1-10 (comparing- one more, one less); Start number bonds Religion- Our Church Community Social Studies- Rules Science/ PE/ Health- Get Fit! Homework: Every Monday, your child will receive 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 activity from the spelling menu to complete with your child each night (Monday-Wednesday). Thursday is designated as a night to study for the test. Homework packets are due Friday. Please attach spelling activities! Memory words: I, a, the, for, you, like, to, of, no, was, put, said Spelling words: big, dig, hop, mop, rug, tug, cat, flat, nest, best Other Notes: Please check and sign your child's planner every night. This is a good habit to start now because it is a requirement in the upper grades. Thank you!

Dear Parents,
We had a great first week of school! We began reviewing our Superkid friends, beginning sounds, and letter formation! In writing, we worked on labeling pictures. In math, we practiced writing our numbers 1-10 in number and word form. I encourage you to review these skills at home with your child! We also spent a lot of our time last week talking about classroom procedures, school rules, personal goals, and how to be a good friend! This week your child will receive their first 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!
