Dear Parents,

This week we will review our two 2nd grade, 3rd quarter Red Words, knew and were; and, several students will review our 3rd grade, 2nd quarter Red Words, already and mother. Our new “Green Word Pattern” phonics lesson will be the diphthong “ow” as in cow and "ow" as in snow.

Our “Red Word” spelling words this week will once again be the Red Words: 3rd Grade - already and mother; 2nd Grade - knew and were. We will study these words throughout the week before we have our weekly spelling test.
The spelling test for these words will be on Friday, February 26, 2021.
