I can’t believe we have completed half of our school year. The students have progressed well. I’m very proud of them as I know you are.

This week:

Word Work: Students will be working with  /vowel-r/ blends such as: /ar/ /er/ /ir/ /or/ /ur/. Please notice how your child begins to use these in their reading journal entries and applying them to their reading.

Guided Reading: Look for different levels of books to come home for nightly reading. Encourage your child to push forward and use meaning to figure out difficult words.

Students will be continuing penmanship and spelling this week with the test being on Friday. Please look for this week’s words to come home with Monday’s graded papers.

Math: Students will begin discovering measurement in length by using non-standard units.

Upcoming Dates to Remember:

January 15th – MLK School Holiday

January 24th – Early Student Release at 11:30 for Teacher In-Service

Thank you and Happy New Year!

Mrs. Benson
