Looking Ahead to Next Week
Independent Reading
Boosterthon
Walk To School

Looking Ahead to Next Week:

Phonics:  We will practice writing all 26 upper and lower case letters this week.  We will be identifying the beginning sounds of words.  Using sight words will be a good way to isolate the beginning sound of the words we already know!

Math: We will be reviewing all the concepts we have learned so far and will take our culminating nine weeks math assessment on Friday.

Writing: Workshop is so fun!  We love working on our own projects each day.
Sight Words: look, in, as

Independent Reading
Please be sure to read with your child at least 15 minutes per night. This really helps to reinforce the concepts we have been working on in school.  Each student should complete one box on the READ card, go over sight words, letters and sounds each night.  You can use Jack Hartmann’s Letter Sound video on you tube to review!  Your child knows this song well!

 
Boosterthon:

This weekend we are issuing a special challenge. Visit funrun.com to see the bonus prize your child can earn simply by getting a pledge this weekend only.
And if you’re looking for an easy way to ask for a pledge, upload a photo of your student to funrun.com to personalize their own Student Star video. It’s a fun movie trailer starring your child! You can share it on email or social media to ask for a pledge.
Thank you again for helping our class!
