I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  I’m super excited for 2017!  It’s going to be fabulous year!

Multiplication Madness:  We will be learning our 9’s and 11’s this week.  We will also be reviewing and passing off 0’s, 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.  Please continue to practice and drill these multiplication facts at home.  Thanks for all the hard work!

Spelling
This week the students will be reviewing long vowel sounds we’ve already learned this year.
Please print off this sort: 2-12-sheet1
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 would like to keep homework quick and simple. Just have your children sort the words. They do not need to type or write the sort.

Monday-Sort words by indicated patterns ( review /ee/, /ea/, 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.**
