Week of October 3rd

We are starting Unit 2 in reading. Our story this week is Tara and Tiree.  We are focusing on nouns in our grammar lesson and r-controlled words in spelling.  You will notice a new sheet attached in the homework packet.  Please use the notebook paper (use front and back) to complete the assignment.  Don't forget to sign the homework packet cover sheet!

The reading vocabulary and amazing words tests are on Thursday.  Spelling tests are on Friday.

The students (majority of them) are doing great with AR tests. Please continue to read a book each night and write a note stating your child is ready.  We are having trouble with some students not reading a book and being ready the next morning!  AR is very important, as it helps with reading comprehension, fluency, and self-confidence.

We will continue discussing landforms, continents, and oceans this week in Social Studies.  The test will be Monday the 10th. The study guide is in the homework packet.

Signed papers go home Tuesday!  Return on Wednesday!
