This is our first week back with full days. We have begun to establish daily and weekly routines, and hopefully, the summer heat will soon turn to cooler fall weather. Here is some info for this week...
This week's Reading main selection is called Exploring Space with an Astronaut. Five important selection Vocabulary words to know are:
astronaut, gravity, telescope, experiment, shuttle
High Frequency (sight) words to know are: everywhere, live, machines, move, woman, work, world
14 SPELLING words for Friday's weekly test are:
page
nose
space
size
fine
mice
late
huge
blaze
race
rice
vote
move
live
We take a spelling pretest early each week and check it together. The words are in your child's Word Work Notebook as well as on this page. Vocabulary words are defined using the Glossary in the back of the Reader, and are also in the notebook each week. This makes it easy for your child to review toward the end of each week for the Spelling and Reading Tests on Fridays.
Please continue to send water in a spillproof bottle as needed. Children are allowed to keep these near their desks and we take frequent breaks to the bathroom/drinking fountain. When time permits, children may enjoy a simple snack (something from their lunchbox) during independent seat work time. This should not be cookies or candy, but crackers, grapes, cheese sticks are a great idea.
Feel free to contact me anytime if you have questions or concerns!
