It will always have their weekly spelling words as well as any important classroom, campus and community information. Beginning this week, there will also be take-home books in their folder, these MUST come back to school each day as they are part of our guided reading lessons.
Snack Note:
- We have two 5 minute snacks each day, please send these in with your child each day as well as a water.
- We are a nut free classroom.
- WATER ONLY in the classroom, any JUICE must be saved for lunch time.
Spelling Words
Spelling Rule: short vowel /e/
yet, web, pen, wet, leg, hen, nut, mud, bug, tub
Please work with your child at home reviewing the weekly spelling words, they each have a spelling activity page and at-home reading comprehension questions in their green folders.. They do not need to turn in any work done at home, their spelling test will reflect the effort put in!
HOMEWORK
Please make sure your student is reading for at least 20 minutes a night and return their guided reading books daily. Thank you for all of your help!!
