Week 4

A lot was sent home today, and you may have some questions about expectations! Here is a little more information for you.

Spelling: Each week students are expected to choose 3 activities from the bingo sheet. They are then supposed to bring it back on Friday. If they are unable to complete the 3 activities, please send me a note. I have explained to the children that they should not spend more than 10 minutes on an activity. I understand that they may not complete the task, but I feel that spending more than 10 minutes is not a benefit to them. Once they have either completed the task or worked on it for 10 minutes, please sign the assigned box.

RAZ-KIDS: Each student also brought home information to log into RAZ-kids. This is an online program that allows children to listen to a story, read it independently and then answer comprehension questions related to the story. This is not a required program, but can be a way to have your child reading each night. I really do think this is a great program because it gives the children a chance to read at their independent reading level.

Reminders for the week:

  • Please send in any remaining Entertainment Books, even if you haven't sold them.
  • Hot lunch order form for Fitness-a-thon due Friday
  • Please start getting some pledges for Fitness-a-thon. We will be talking more about it this week in the classroom. 

Have a great week!
