We had a quick review of Homophones and Contractions this week! Here  are a couple fun quizzes you can practice at home to review homophones and contractions 🙂 HOMOPHONE QUIZ CONTRACTION QUIZ

Thank you  to all of the parents that came to support their child! Your child has been working hard the last couple weeks on their Power Point and they were so excited to use our Smart Board and present it to you!   I was so proud of their Public Speaking Skills!!!   Also, I hope you enjoyed the short video clip of your kids reading in Sept and in January.   You can tell that the kids have more confidence in their reading!  

I am so excited to meet with all of YOU!  

 Way to GO Can Do Kids!

Here is a great place to print off 1 minute timing Fact Practice sheets and all other Math concepts!   Enjoy it is all FREE!!!

Our very own “Garfield” was chosen at the assembly today to entertain us with some other kids during one of the Magic Tricks. Check him out! Good Job! The assembly was fun and reminded us how important it is to READ and the READING is Magic!

I just added a page at the top to help the children with their Count By’s – I will be adding more Multiplication help to it as we teach it!

Just a note to let you know that our Homework will be changing a bit starting next week.   Mainly, because we will be working hard on MEMORIZING our Multiplication Facts.   Instead of a Monthly Calendar, we will also be switching to a Weekly One – It will work as an organizer for you and your child!

A funny video! Check it out!- We are going to start Multiplication soon!

Good readers INFER while they read to figure out what happens next, it is a smart guess that they make using clues from the story and their SCHEMA to figure out the answer~   You can also INFER the meaning of a word.   This happens to all of us, when we are reading a chapter book or an informational book we come to a word that we do not know the meaning of…what do we do?   Hopefully we do not skip the word, we INFER what it means… When we do that we use our schema, look at the pictures if there are any, we reread the sentence and look for clues in the text.   After doing those things, we should then come up with a good answer to the meaning of the word.   We have been using these strategies in class this week! Example:   We read the book:   and Inferred some Hawaii’n words that were in the text! The kids had a blast!   We also read,       and we all inferred a new ending to the story!   I had the children leave a comment for you to read!

We hope you like it!!!
