Reading- Please encourage your child to read at home. They will be required to read 15 minutes each week night and fill out their reading log. I will collect reading logs at the end of each week.
The students have been given books based on their reading levels from last school year, but they will be reassessed before this marking period is over
Writing- We will begin writing this year by reviewing important concepts that we must know in order to write stories. These topics include: sentence structure, paragraphs, parts of speech, etc.
Word Work- Your child will be receiving their 5 words on Monday, August 29th. PLEASE study with them each night. They must know their own words for the test. Each child could have different words depending on what words they may have already known from the pre-test. There will be occasional homework for them to practice skills that are taught each week along with their 5 words.
The first spelling test will be on Friday, September 9th.
