Things are moving so quickly and can’t believe we’ve been together over 160 days!  I’m sorry to inform you that everyone in my class is going to be retained for at least another 2 years.  I know, this is not really true, but I love the kids in our class and it’s going to be very hard to have the end of the year sneak up on us.!

HOMEWORK

MATH
As a school, we are piloting  a couple of internet sites to determine which site will provide the best supplemental math practice for our students.  Our class is using Frontrowed.com and will report what we like and what we do not like about it.  With that in mind, this week we will be using it for our homework and I need each child to use it at least three times this week.  I will tell your child which area they are currently scoring the lowest and have them work on that area.  At the end of the week, I will post a survey about your thoughts on Front Row Ed.  (This is one of the things I love about Quest, we get to help decide which programs are the best for our students)

READING
Please continue to read 20 minutes a day.  This week, we will be taking our last Dibels test for the year.  Reading out loud for practice is strongly encouraged.


SPELLING TESTS
We are taking spelling tests on the most frequently misspelled words that we have worked on all week.  Any of the words that are missed will be sent home, as well as worked on at school during word work.  Any words that were missed may be retested on Friday and the correctly spelled words will be added into their scores.   Don’t worry about the colors, that’s just to help me know which list they were on.
