During the school year the students will be expected to read their Guided Reading group book to an adult at home and return the book the following day. If a student does not return their book they will not be able to bring home the next days book. These books will typically (but not always, go home Monday thru Thursday).
Students are also expected to practice our weekly spelling words. There are many fun ways to practice spelling words with your children!
*Rainbow writing (choose several color crayons and write the word in each color several times)
*Fill a cookie sheet with salt and have your child use their finger to write the word in the salt
*Use play-dough to form letters
*Spelling word memory game
*Spelling puzzle (write each word in large letters on an index card and then have your child cut the card up into puzzle pieces, practice putting the puzzle back together)
*Window writing (let your child use window safe markers to write their words in windows at home or in the car)
