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. It’s a long way up, but get it if you can.
2. Only take the other one.
3. Who is out the most?
4. Always plan enough time to draw a picture.
5. The country we live in is the United States of America.
I sent a new math game home, “Plus-Minus-Stay the Same. Please play it and continue playing the games I‘ve sent home. 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. Write a paragraph (topic sentence, at least 3 detail sentences, and a conclusion) describing why you enjoy your pet or someone else’s pet. 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.
