I apologize for no post this past weekend. Where did the weekend go? We have finished our reading theme for the first 5 stories. We are now having a review week. This week will look differently than previous weeks. The students will be testing quite a bit. Today they will take a sentence dictation pretest. This will be 5 sentences with some spelling words in them. To pass the test every sentence must be spelled correctly and capitalization and punctuation correct. If they pass the pretest they have freetime during spelling on Friday. On Wed. they will take a multiple choice spelling test and Thursday is a 20 word test. That list will come home today. In this way we cover every spelling word we have had this theme. Today we are taking a reading skills test. This includes vocabulary and the story elements we have been working on. The students will also take two tests over comprehension. It is a very busy week as we will still have guided reading during the week.
Hopefully everyone had a chance to look over your child's math test. This week we will start subtraction strategies. Ask your child if they can explain bubble math to you. It is something new we are doing.
We are still studying animals and will be working on our dioramas. Thanks to all who have sent boxes and/or items for their child's diorama.
If your child wants to purchase any of the items the cheerleaders are selling, send it to school with the money in a baggie or envelope. We give them to the cheerleaders and then they will get the items to us on Friday.
Sounds like we are going to have a great week weatherwise so enjoy it.
