Monday January 26, 2015


Homework
1. Literacy Map:
We are now starting again with learning spelling words.  We will continue with the two groups, blue and green.  Please check your child’s book to see which group they are in and the spelling homework.  Please have your child print 1-2 lines of each spelling word and 1-2 sentences using these words.  Don’t forget to include juicy words!!

Green Group (Ms. Beechey):
Monday: th (grapheme review), this, think
Tuesday: name, game
Wednesday: came, same
Thursday: Quiz
Friday: No School for Students

Blue Group (Mrs. McGivern)
Monday: little, table, apple
Tuesday: are, were, there, come
Wednesday: house, not, your, said
Thursday: Quiz
Friday: No School for Students

2. Reading:
Read for 20 minutes everyday.  This may be a library book, home reading book, or a book online.  It is beneficial to have your child read their book both silently to themselves as well as out loud.  Remember to allow your child time to solve words on their own before jumping in to help.  This time could also include flash card practice.  One of the strategies your child should be using is to use their double graphemes (ee, th, sh, ar, ch, etc.) when sounding out.

3.Tell and Show:
We will be doing letter N for Tell and Show this week. Please continue to have your child draw and write independently.  We are amazed at the writing and drawing that students have been doing.  Way to go!

Reminders:

   2.    If you would like to come in and volunteer please email Mrs. McGivern or Mrs. Beechy.  We could really use some help with reading from 8:25-9:00am each morning or at the end of each day from 2:45-3:00pm.  Friday afternoons would also be especially helpful as we usually do art!
