October is a long but busy month. Please make sure you always check your child’s planner and folder for important messages and notes. This week:

Word work: This week and next week we will make words and apply the sounds of digraphs: /sh/ /th/ /ch/ /wh/ /ph/ /gh/.

Guided Reading: The students will work in their groups on leveled books. Watch for the blue Guided Reading folder.
