1st Week

Hello everyone,
Can you believe we are already in our second week of school? We had an amazing first week getting to know our classmates, classroom rules, walking around the campus and learning where everything is. This week we are working on building routines and getting to know our schedule. We also started spelling words this week your child went home with a piece of paper folded in half with spelling words on it. One half is them trying to spell the words before we start working with them all week the other half is our words spelled correctly. They have 10 regular spelling words this week and 3 challenge words. The challenge words are extra credit but I would like everyone to try them.  As soon as we get our agendas students will also write their spelling words in there so they can practice. Spelling tests will be first thing on Friday morning. Reading sheets and homework also went home yesterday. Please practice your child's reading sheet with them every night and don't forget about their reading logs. :-)

This weeks spelling words are:
1. at
2. cat
3. hat
4.can
5.cap
6.tap
7.mad
8.man
