Please continue to practice the Spelling List with your kids each night so they will have success on their grades. 

We will continue to practice writing sentences and focus on reviewing punctuation and capitalization. We will continue reading groups to improve reading fluency.

Thank you as always for partnering with us in the education and success of your bright scholars.

There is a new homework requirement for every other day.  We are going to practice the reading accuracy list at home to improve reading fluency. Set the timer for 1 minute. Record how many words your child read in that time on the bottom of the sheet under practice. Typically the student should read the word  3 seconds or it is counted wrong. Take some time to practice reading the words on the list they struggle with. 

Please make sure you are using Reading A-Z for Fridays. This is a homework requirement. If there are any problems please reach out. There should be a login card in your childs red folder in the pocket with the QR code. If you need a new one please reach out.

Don't forget to ask your child a question about the book they read and have your child write an answer in the reading log. There is a list of questions to ask your child. There is a code about what question you pick from the list of questions. This is a homework requirement and if it is not completed their clip will be moved to yellow in the beginning of the school day as per school policy.

Yay!! 😃 We will have Science this week! I know your scholars have been asking and will be delighted! 

We will be learning about matter this week and all the properties of it. We will learn that it has taste, smell, clear, big, small, heavy, light, and so much more. 

We are looking forward to teaching all about it this week.

The new poem to recite in February is "I, too" by Langston Hughes.  The saying is "A place for everything and everything in its place." 

We will recite as a class February 2nd. You are welcome to come in the gym to watch them recite! Please make sure to park in the parking lot in front of the playground.

We will continue reading more of Aesop's Fables this week. A few of these will be, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and "The Dog and His Shadow."

Watch out for binders being sent home periodically. Please sign and return.

If you have any questions about the assessments please reach out!

Access Literacy or Classical Education in general can be difficult to navigate with your child at home when they are learning how to read.  We would like to start sharing with you as parents "little nuggets" of what your child learns each day and how we can partner together in equipping your scholar to succeed in their education. 

If you click the link below, you will find many resources and help in understanding Access Literacy and also how learning the letter sounds first helps to prepare your child to read earlier.

A calendar will be sent in the red take home folder. Please look at your child's color daily and initial on it so I know you saw it. If the color is below green I will use a code to explain why. The codes are on the bottom of the calendar and explain the situation. If the child went home on red I will give you a call or email. If it becomes a recurring situation where the student goes home below green we will set up a meeting.

If homework is not completed by the morning it is due the child will start their day on yellow on the color chart.
