Thanks for your swift response to the green reports! Almost all the boys returned the report signed.
* Our words study program will be different now than it has been in the beginning of the year. We are using the Words Their Way program. This program provides instruction based on the needs of your child. In the beginning of the year, we had each child take a spelling inventory and through that, was able to sort the class into groups. Each group will study words that match a particular area in need of instruction.
Due to this, our homework will look different. We will no longer have the word sheets. Each group will have different tasks assigned to them and a workbook. Some possible homework activities might be to have a word hunt (to find words not on the spelling list that follow the same rule) or to find the meaning of the words.
* Just a reminder: we will head to the Armory tomorrow and have double gym on Wednesday. Please have your child in the appropriate clothes for physical activity on both days.
* With Thanksgiving this weekend, there will not be additional homework other than the weekly reading response. If you are anticipating that you will be extra busy this weekend, please encourage your child to start working on the response tonight by reading for an extra 15 minutes or by starting to record on the sheet if possible.
