I can’t believe how fast time is flying in our classroom. We have been so busy writing and starting our multiplication. I am so proud of how hard our class has been working. Here are some announcements and reminders:
Tuesday will be the last day for our collection of school supplies for the Bottle Hollow Teachers and their classrooms. Thank you for your generosity!
This week is a Parent Teacher Conference week and I will be doing Conferences on Thursday. If you are interested in meeting about your student, please e-mail me at nlloyd@questac.org and I’ll arrange a time to meet. I have 3:30, 3:45, 4:00, and 4:15 available.
Please remember that Friday is a short day. Also, Thursday is our library day and we have several who forget their books on a regular basis. The students often tell me it’s their parents fault, but I ALWAYS tell them it’s not their parents job to make sure they have their books. Please remind them on Wednesday night to put their books in their backpacks, but then it’s up to them to carry through.

Sorts – Please print the words out and have them pick from the following categories to do nightly at home: (1 sort each night)
1. Sort your words into categories -Always do this one on Monday night and have your child explain the rule to you. The rest of the week, your child may choose what he/she would like to do for the rest of the week.
2. Turn the word sorts face down. Time your child to see how long it takes them to sort them into the correct categories. (You may only choose this sort to do once a week)
3. Write the words 3x each.
4. Write the words in ABC order
5. Give your child a practice spelling test.
6. Play ball – Have your child grab someone to play catch and let the fun begin. The person helping your child will say the word to him/her and he/she will spell the work back to you. Every time your child throws the ball have them say one letter of the word. Continue until your child has spelled the word. If your child makes a mistake, correctly spell the word for them, and have them start over.
7. Speed Sort- Time your child 3 times to see how fast they can sort their words.
8. Glue sort- Have your child glue the sort on a piece of paper.
9. Syllable Sort- Sort the words according to how many syllables they have.
