     The students have been learning how to work during Daily 5.  Ask them what items they have to do first.  I am almost done with testing students for reading levels.  I hope to start reading groups the Tuesday after Labor Day.  
     Spelling needs to be practiced at home.  Get on spelling city and practice with some games.  We have shortened the Language Arts packet for this reason.
     Please get on Class Dojo, too.  Check on your child's points.  They get rewarded when they reach 25.  
     Thanks to those who are working on times tables at home, as well as reading.  These two skills are so important.

     I can't believe we are already starting the 3rd week of school.  The kids are learning a lot of procedures and doing them well.   I was happy with how many kids turned in their homework last week.  Thanks for your support at home.  Keep track of reading minutes every day and add them up at the end of the week.  Also, remember to have your child practice times tables with their monster wheel or something on the internet.

     Well, we are off to a good start.  I have a lot of your office cards turned in.  Your children are coming every day.  We are learning each other's names, too.  
     Language Arts and spelling went home today.  Please ask your child about it.  The packet needs to come back, completed, this Friday.  On the back of the packet, you will see that I want your children to practice times tables and read.  Please write in the amount of time they spend on each of these.
     The more time we invest in your child early on, the better they will develop.  Thanks for helping me teach.
