Week of August 29th!

     As a reminder, this week and next are four day weeks!  We do not have school on Friday, September 2nd or Monday, September 5th! 
     This week we will be continuing to work with our spelling words.  We do numerous activities to help with the spelling of these words.  Our spelling words are given in a test format.  Once the children have learned the correct spelling of a word they are expected to carry that over into their writing. 
     We have been reviewing the short vowel sounds for "a" and "e."  We are sounding out short vowel words.  We are learning our procedures for our literacy centers as well as those for our math activities.  In math, we have been working on counting activities and numeracy. 
     In religion, we have helped with the service projects as well as talked about Moses.  We also are working on a book about being Thankful.  We are talking about the gifts God has given us.
     You should have received a homework watcher with explanations of our reading logs as well as an attachment with reading log pages.  If you do not receive homework watcher, you will be receiving a paper copy of that information as well as this letter.
