WELCOME BACK! I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break! Below are a few updates and reminders. UPDATES: 1. The Egg Hunt has been canceled instead of rescheduled because of 3rd-4th grade testing. 2. The Egg Drop has been canceled as well, but we will do something in class to make up for this fun activity. REMINDERS! 1. NO spelling homework this week. If you want extra practice, go to the Resources page and look under Reading Help to find the sight word list! These are words that they should know how to read, but might have trouble spelling some of them. 2. Writing- We are focusing on the mechanics of writing this week. Does your child put a capital letter and an end mark? Do they use the correct verb tense or form? Do they start each sentence the same way or only write "I" sentences? Point this out in their homework. Let them start to notice it if they haven't already. 3. Math- This weeks homework is focusing on the skills that will be on their End of Year EADMS exam. These exams are for us to see how much they have learned. Please go over these skills with them and possibly do some extra on Zearn. IXL is no longer available. 4. SCHOLASTIC- I am placing the LAST order for this year tomorrow morning. Please submit any last online orders by then. 5. AR- AR is supposed to end this week, but we are EXTENDING it to Monday since we lost last Thursday. I will send home new books everyday as long as they are taking tests. They are allowed to take 2 tests a day. 6. Work Packets- Green Work Packets came home today. Please Empty, sign, and return the folder tomorrow. HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT UPCOMING EVENTS?
CHECK THE CALENDAR BELOW!

Reminders for this VERY BUSY but VERY SHORT week:
1. No spelling homework this week! YAY! 2.Use the old homework and booklets from last week to study for the Prefixes and Suffixes test TOMORROW (4-16-19). 3. There is an OPTIONAL IXL practice skill on the homework sheet this week. Remember, this program was given to us on a trail basis and will expire on May 3rd, so use it as much as you like! I am already working trying to get it for next year the kids like it so much! 4. THURSDAY! Thursday has a lot going on. First, if you want to participate in the egg hunt, please bring 12 TAPED SHUT, PLASTIC, NO CHOCOLATE, eggs inside of an egg carton. The egg carton will be used as their "basket" and it will allow all the kids to hunt for the same amount! Second, EGG DROPPPPP! Our first graders love watching things being dropped, so lets drop some eggs from the ROOF or really tall ladder if it is raining! Look for Egg Drop rules inside of your child's binder! 5. NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY! HAVE A WONDERFUL SPRING BREAK! BE SAFE AND SEE YALL ON APRIL 29TH! Reminders for the Week:
1. Spelling Menu has been taken off the back of the HW sheet, but the children should know what to do. If they can't remember, tell them to write their words two times using Bubble letters, Rainbow Write, or Fancy letters. 2. IXL: THE STUDENTS HAVE DONE GREAT WITH IXL! I loved how excited they were. IXL is a program they use in 2nd grade and it is only available this month! This week's OPTIONAL skill is D.16. Zearn will always be available to you, even over the summer, so keep your login. 3. Scholastic: This is the last Scholastic book order for the year. The class code is N9W77. The due date is April 29th. 4. BBE (Big Brown Envelope) came home today. Progress Reports are coming home Wednesday. If you need extra time with the papers, please send me a message telling me through Remind. Thank you! Have a great week! |
