September 12-16: Our class WILL NOT be doing sort homework for now. (Reading Log, Math & High Frequency Spelling Words continue)
I will add a list of High Frequency Spelling Words to your students folders this week. Week 1 will be practiced and tested September 5-9. Students need to be able to read and spell these words. I will also add the High Frequency Spelling Homework form this week so you can take a look at it. I will also post fun activities that will enrich this part of your kiddos homework. Just in case you haven’t had a chance to explore links under the homework tab, I have a made our HF Spelling words into flash cards so all you need to do is print them out to review with your kiddo…
LUNCH For those students bringing home lunch; Please spend some time this week helping your student practice independent lunch preparation. For example;
How to open containers and packages (i.e. opening pudding cups, putting straws in juice boxes, etc.)
How to properly and safely use a microwave (i.e. paper towel under food, how long to cook it, how to remove the hot food, what NOT to put in a microwave, etc.)
How to prepare microwaveable meals. A common problem that occurs is children neglect to add water to microwaveable meals, like easy mac. This results in burnt lunch, a stinky school, and a very sad child.
What to keep and what to throw away (i.e. keep tupperware, please throw away opened juice box even if not finished, etc.)
**Please remind your student, that for health reasons, students are NOT to share their food or take food from other students. Thank you.
