We completely understand having kids of our own and making choices about what we need to buy. They can also use the book order forms for ideas to check books out of the library at SJS or downtown.

Spelling - Next week's spelling words will have the short e sound.  The procedure is that we introduce the words on Monday and each day we use a variety of techniques to practice.  Students then take a test over the words. We believe in Mastery Learning so students have a chance to retake the test. Everyone did a wonderful job.
  Next week's words are Short u words:  up  bug  mud  nut  hug  tub

Sight words we are learning for next week are:  friend  full  good  hold  many  pull
These are the challenge words for our spelling test.

We will continue working reading skills, adding new sight words, learning new reading strategies, and working on addition. We  continue to work on community, including qualities that help us be supportive, caring people who take care of one another.

Please remember to email both of us if you have any questions or concerns. We plan to check emails daily.
