I’ve added some links to help students with their reading, spelling, writing, science, and math.
This week for spelling, I’ve assigned dictated sentences using some of the top 100 most commonly used words. The last two sentences are for students who have no trouble learning the first 3 sentences. Please work on these at home. The final test will be on Friday.
1. First we find it.
2. Some of these are words.
3. They make their own.
4. He has gotten to ride his bicycle in February.
We continue working with combinations of 10 (ex. 4 + 6, 7 + 3) and doubles (ex. 3 + 3 or
3 x 2) this week during math. It would be helpful if you could reinforce this at home. I will be sending several games home. Please hang onto the games, especially the number cards (They will need to be cut.), so the games can be played throughout the year.
Our goal this year at Forest Ridge is to improve students’ writing. During the week, I’d like to encourage you and your child to write together. Write about one day, any day, and what your child did during that day. Write a topic that states the main idea. Next, use details to make the main idea more clear and vivid. The story needs to be in order of when everything happened. Finally, end with a satisfying conclusion. Writing together encourages your child to see you having fun with writing, and allows you an opportunity to spend time with your child while he/she learns. Please have your child bring it in on Friday
Due to some schedule changes, I had to rearrange my volunteer needs:
Volunteer Opportunities (Starting the week of Sept. 15)
M, Tu, W, Th 12:30-1:35 (reading, writing, preparation)
M, Tu, W, Th 2:05-3:10 (math, preparation)
Please let me know if you are interested in helping out at any of these times. E-mail (ryan_ginny@salkeiz.k12.or.us) or a note would be the best way to reach me. I will confirm your time with you. Thank you!
