Notes from your Teacher: *Please make sure that homework is written in the homework journal. Please write on the back of pages as well! We need to use these notebooks all year!
*Please be sure to complete the “Going Green” document on the school website if you have not done so already. If you do not have internet access please let me know as soon as possible.
Spelling: Our weekly words will consist of sight words and 10 other words corresponding with our “Letterland” units. Students will be expected to read and write these words. They will also need to prepare for our weekly spelling test each Friday.

Writing Focus: This week we are encouraging students to take risks, even with hard-to-draw pictures and hard-to-spell words. Students will be working on “easy to read” writing. This includes neat handwriting, spacing between words, sounding out words carefully and adding punctuation at the end of sentences.
Reading Focus: We will continue to work on building good habits during Reader’s workshop. This will include procedures for independent reading and budding reading as well as how to “shop” for books to put in their book boxes.
