Happy Labor Day! - No school on Monday, 9/2.
This week, our main Reading selection is Exploring Space with an Astronaut. Tested Vocabulary words to know are astronaut, gravity, telescope, experiment, shuttle. In Phonics and Spellling we are reviewing and practicing with the VCe pattern (Vowel/Consonant/silent e.) Spelling words for Friday's test are:
page
size
late
race
nose
fine
huge
rice
space
mice
blaze
vote
move
live
In Math Topic 1 we have been reviewing and practicing strategies for fluently adding and subtracting within 20. We will continue throughout this week and will likely be ready for a Topic Assessment the following week. We will begin occasional pop quizzes on addition and subtraction soon, so please encourage your child to practice for a few minutes each day. Mastering the basic math facts makes it easier for your child to learn more complex math ideas and skills.
A few reminders for the week...
Thursday, 9/5 is School Picture Day. Please return forms/payment by that day if you are interested in ordering a photo package.
Friday, 9/6 is the deadline for our class Scholastic Book orders. If you are ordering online, you can easily find our classroom using the online code H3ZD8. I believe that if you order $25 or more online, you are able to choose a free book for your child.
If I sent another CANTS form home with your child on Friday, it is because your oldest hasn't returned one. If you'd like to volunteer, chaperone, etc. here at St. Linus, you must have a new CANTS form for each school year. Sorry for the inconvenience.
