Happy Sunday!  I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

 

This week, we will continue MAP testing.  We will be testing over math on Monday and Tuesday.  We will also be taking the district math assessment this week.  As always, please make sure your child gets enough sleep, great breakfast, is on time, and is encouraged!  I know testing days are very long and we try to take breaks for stretching and Go Noodle when we can.

 

We will be working on our last week in Unit 7 for reading.  We are working on the phonics skill diphthongs ou and ow.  SPELLING HOMEWORK WAS SENT HOME IN THEIR FOLDERS LAST FRIDAY!  Therefore, spelling homework will NOT BE in their folders tomorrow!  Please make sure to check your child's Home-School Folder for their spelling! 

 

We will focus on and review author's reasoning, topics and main ideas, and point of view for comprehension this week.  Homework will consist of review to help us with our end of unit testing this Thursday.  We will continue working on these skills in reading groups and they will bring home their leveled book on Wednesday instead of Thursday since we don't have school Friday.  It is very important that they bring their book back the very next day!  Please have your child put their book in their backpack as soon as they are done reading their story!

 

Students are almost done publishing their animal stories.  Next, students will be writing letters to upcoming 2nd graders.  Students will be sharing their favorite things about 2nd grade, what they enjoyed learning about, and providing helpful tips! 

 

I just want to say that I'm so proud of all the students!  They did a wonderful job with our crazy schedule last week and I know they will be great again this week!
