Dear Family,

Thank you for your continued support! I wanted to share some important upcoming events and learning focuses for our class.

The Mother/Son Ball is scheduled for March 14th at 6:00 PM. During this time, we will focus on some of the hardest phonics patterns of the year, including r-controlled vowels: er, ir, ur, or, ar, oar, and ore. Please help your child reinforce these phonics patterns and sounds at home.

Additionally, we will be reviewing Unit 5 in math, which covers tens and ones, place value, and double-digit addition. This has been a challenging unit, so any assistance and review you can provide would be greatly appreciated. We will move on to shape and measurement next but will continue to practice Unit 5 skills. If you see practice pages in your student’s take-home folder, please help them work on these skills to find success. I will also be starting tutoring before and after school to help those students who need assistance.

Please note that Spring pictures will be on March 28th, and it will be a free dress day. Dollar Dress Day is on March 21st.

Thank you!

Ms, Strain
