Thank you to all the parents and grandparents that came on Friday to help carve apples for our Apples Witches!!  We had such a good time!

If you have not signed up for Bloomz, please do, it has already proven to be a very useful tool in communication with parents.

Homework

Reading
Of course, reading is the most important part of our homework! All of us should be reading 20 minutes a night, 5 nights a week. Please print off the Sort and Reading Log to record how many minutes your child read each night. Please sign and return it on Friday.

Math
Monday- addition-properties-basic_prope
Tuesday- 2-digit-addition
Wednesday- 2-digit-addition-2

Spelling
I hope that every student was able to understand the spelling sorts for last week. Our class will be working on long a sounds with the /ai/ and /ay/ patterns again this week.  The words are just a little bit longer, with the suffix /-ed/ added to the end, or compound words with these patterns.  Please print off this sort: blue-book-lesson-2-sort-pfr
The students will use this sort to practice the indicated patterns. Quest has asked us to have the students type their spelling word sort each night, but I haven’t trained the students yet, so they are just sorting them this week. They will be expected to type them in the next few weeks.

Monday-Sort words by indicated patterns ( /ai/, /ay/, and /oddballs/-all other patterns)
Tuesday-ABC Sort (Sort the words by initial letters.)
Wednesday- Speed Sort (Sort the words as quickly as they can.)
Thursday-Glue sort (Glue the words down in the indicated vowel pattern.)
**Please make a note on the Sort and Reading Log that a sort was done each night.**
