This is a very short week for us. Remember that there is an Early Release day on Friday! In ELA, we will continue to study and understand short vowel pattern words. We will not have a Spelling quiz this week. Please have your child continue to practice each night as usual. In Math, we will continue with Place Value. the students are learning how to write number in various ways such as standard form, expanded form, word form, and tens and ones. About Library times: We are allowed a 20 minute check in and check out slot once per week at any time. I have chosen to sign our class up to visit the library on Thursdays. Please make sure your child knows to bring their book to school on Thursday. They can keep it in their bookbag during the week if that will help. Please email me with any questions and have a great week! |
