Two New Things This Week

Reading envelopes will start coming home this week and next week. Your child will bring home the envelope as they finish reading the book during their guided reading lesson. There is no set schedule for when the envelope comes home, so please do not worry about how frequent or less frequent your child brings it home. When it does come home, please be sure to follow the procedure laminated on the front of the envelope as seen below. Be sure to return the book in the envelope the very next school day. 

Weekly spelling words are coming home in your child's binder tonight! Each student took a 'snap word' assessment the 2nd week of school. Your child's Snap Word Graph was created from their results of the written test. As of now, each child has 2 graphs in their binder behind the Goal Setting tab. There will be more graphs as they learn how to spell the words correctly on the test and in their everyday writing. 

Please do not highlight / color or have your child highlight or color on this graph. They will take care of the ' data tracking' at school with myself and Ms. Calcaterra. 

Their weekly words are on the white paper in their binder pocket. This paper can stay home all week as they practice writing their words. Please refer to the bottom of the white paper for spelling practice ideas. The work is not required, it is optional! They do not need to turn in spelling practice activities. The test will be Friday.
