Expectations:
There are three expectations I am going to focus on reinforcing for the remainder of this year:
1) Turning in reading logs and Thursday folders
2) Completing a written response during reading rotations (3x per week)
3) Morning work each day
Please have a conversation with your kiddos about this at home (we will discuss it at school as well). It's important they get in the habit of all these things as it will prepare them for third grade responsibilities!
I am not sending a paper for reading logs home anymore, please have your kiddo keep track of their reading on a piece of paper or in a notebook to send in every Friday. If you want a notebook, please let me know!
Homework
Reading log and Thursday folder due every Friday
Practicing spelling words
We are practicing two lists this week (May 20)- please feel free to practice these however you want! I don't plan on quizzing them, I just want them to at least see the words and use them in a sentence.
Most students are practicing on the blue list, the words on the first list are: prefixes un-, re-, dis-
disagree, dislike, distrust, reheat, reread, reuse, unhappy, unlock, unpack, unsafe
The words on the second list are:
careful, colorful, fearless, helpful, painless, priceless, speechless, spoonful, spotless, useful
**please have your child focus on the blue list words unless I have spoken to them about trying the more challenging list
Some students are practicing slightly more challenging words once they have shown me they know the words on the blue list. Those words are:
disassembled, displeasure, disappeared, reconsider, restock, recycled, rethink, unblemished, unrivaled, unsalted
The words on the second list are: suffixes -ful, -less
delightful, fanciful, tearful, beautiful, countless, penniless, harmless, successful, aimless, doubtful
Additional challenge words:
None for this week
****Reading logs must be turned in every week, however all other homework is optional but HIGHLY encouraged. If anything extra is completed and turned in by the end of the week will earn your student 3 dojo points for each assignment.
