Here is a peek at short week coming up...

I big THANK YOU to all of you for the great parent teacher conferences!  I enjoyed sharing your children's successes and hearing about how you are helping them at home. It takes a village!

Lexia Reading Core 5 Program: It is very helpful for you child to work in this program each day at home. This is a self directed program that helps your child with reading and spelling skills. Your child will need a head set to listen to the directions and complete it without any help as they do here at school. I receive a report as to the progress the children are making at with the program at home. I highly recommend it! To access it follow these 4 steps..
1. google lexia core 5

Moby Max is HERE! 

MobyMax is a computer based program and just like the Lexia Reading Core 5 Program, this is a self directed program that helps your child with academic skills at home. Your child will need a head set and then will be able to work in the program without any help.  I receive a progress report just like the Core 5 Program.  Your child will be working in the "math and fact fluency" section. Each student has a unique login. Follow these steps:

1. go to www.mobymax.com

Phonics: Your child will learn new phonograms each week as we go through our Total Reading Program. Please look for your child's work each day and have fun going on phonogram hunts as you read your books together each night. So far we have learned: sh, th, ee, er, ch, ck, wh, ea, ai, ay, ed, ou, ow

Word Wall Words: Here is the list of the current words on our word wall. It is a great idea to make a word wall at home or flashcards to help your child master the reading/spelling of these words. We will add 5 more word each week so knowing these is very important.

Writing: We will continue our school wide writing program, Writing Workshop, working on our narrative pieces. We celebrated on Thursday with our third grade friends and had so much fun sharing our "small moment" stories.

Grammar: We will work on writing complete sentence making sure that each sentence has a noun,  a verb, begins with a capital letter and ends with the correct punctuation.

Math: We will practice addition and subtraction facts up to 20 using the Thanksgiving Theme.

Reminder: Thanksgiving holiday next week so no school Wed, Thurs., and Fri.
