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. Which was her favorite?
2. When would they come over?
3. See his many friends.
4. Your vacation location is beautiful.
5. You sure have a curiosity for knowledge.
Please continue playing the games I‘ve sent home in the past. Continue working on identifying coins and counting change. We’ve been working on the addition facts at school. Please work with your child at home with them as well. Flashcards are helpful. If you need some, please let me know, and then I will send some home with your child.
Our goal this year at Forest Ridge is to improve students’ writing. Family writing for this week: Think about an exciting experience or event in your life that you would like to share. Write a personal narrative about it. Consider creating a mood of suspense, humor, or fantasy. Tell what happened and how you felt. This 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 the writing in by Friday.
Our library check out day is on Tuesday. Please help your child to remember to return his/her book back by Monday.
Take home folders (with reading logs attached) need to be turned in on Thursday instead of Friday. Then students can bring home “Thursday Thoughts” and other papers in their folders.
