Newsletters will be sent home every Friday. It is important to read our class newsletters so that you are aware of what we will be learning, and important dates and events that will be taking place. Spelling word lists will be on the back of these newsletters for the next week. Spelling pre-tests are on Mondays, and final tests are on Fridays. Students who get all of the words correct on the pretest will earn a "Fun Friday". This means they will get free time during our class spelling test that Friday. We have weekly spelling homework as well that is sent home on Fridays with the spelling list for the next week.
Tuesday nights are at home reading nights. Students will bring their book home to practice reading the weekly story out loud to an adult in the household. I will send home a reading log for you to sign and return each time your child needs to read to you.
Each week we will have a "Star of the Week". When it is your child's turn to shine, they will be the line leader and class helper for that entire week. A poster will be sent home with your child the Friday before their week. Posters should be completed at home and returned to school the next Monday to share with the class.
