Spelling words will go home at the end of the week and will be tested at the end of the following week. This will give your students at least a week to study their spelling words. The spelling words are decodable from sounds we’ve learned plus one tricky word to practice. Please have your child practice sounding out the words rather than memorizing. Knowing the rules and using the sounds will help them apply sound spellings to a variety of words. For example, learning ‘a_e’ can help spell bake, cake, rake, make, etc. 

No more spelling words!

Remember to log your child’s reading minutes on Beanstack and participate in the monthly reading challenges for prizes! QR Code is located at the back of your child's homework folder.

What counts for reading? EVERYTHING! :)

*5 min of tricky word practice

*10 min playing memory with short words

*7 min of letter sound cards/building words

*15 min taking turns reading a bedtime story

Meet the teacher had many suggestions to practice reading skills, but there will also be 'Take-Home' pages, story chapters, and extra practice pages sent home regularly that would be great practice to reinforce what we are learning in the classroom AND count as reading!

Month 9, Week 4: Creativity - Be Well

We will build their power of Creative thinking by participating in a whole class game where they will use their imagination and reflect on emotion awareness.  

Super Courage Challenge

**Emails were sent out explaining what courageous act your child chose. As they accomplish their goals, please capture the moment with a picture and send it to rgorges@usd439.com. We will be posing as superheroes and sharing times we had "Super Courage".**

We have completed all of our lessons for the year! We will be doing review activities to end the year. No quiz! 

We will review what we've learned so far this year and do some fun end of the year activities!
