Two book orders went home today. They are due on September 12. You may send the orders in with your child or you may complete online order: www.scholastic.com/readingclub. Our class code is: GWD2T.
Two assessments are happening this week, science (matter) and math (prime, composite, square numbers, prime factorization). Please ask your child about these.
Individualized spelling lists will begin Monday. We are examining student writing to find misspellings. The list will be in the planner. Although no homework is required, you are encouraged to ask your child about the words and the spelling. We do daily practice as part of our literacy menu from 16 possible activities.
Reading minutes for September are 600 minutes. 20 minutes is not required every night. For example, reading 60 minutes it great and allows for flexibility in not reading every night if you have activities, etc.
I will put this information again under the communication tab on our website. Please stop by your child’s page and see what he/she has been writing about and feel free to leave a comment, too.
