Literacy: Students will begin guided reading this week.  A note was sent home with your child explaning this further. Hint of the week: When reading with your child, allow them to look at the picture.  This helps them to bring meaning to their story.  Spelling: Students are learning the "ad" word family this week.  Their spelling words are; ad, dad, fad, lad, mad, sad, bad, pad, tad, glad. Math: Students have been working on patterns for the past month.  They are learning about how patterns repeat, name patterns and make the same pattern in different ways, they know this as translate.  Students will be assessed on Thursday on this unit. Book Orders: Book orders are due this Friday, October 7.  Thank you for your support last month.  I was able to buy some books for our classroom library.  Communication Logs: These are new and I will be sending them home each day.  This allows you to see how your child is doing during their school day.  Thanks you for your cooperation and please return this each day with your child.
