Dear Parents,
This week school will be closed Thursday and Friday. I will be giving a Writing Test on Monday, Reading Test on Tuesday, and Math test on Wednesday.
It is important that students get access at home to clever.com since they need to use it not only for doing assignments in Discovery education, but they will also need it to do additional practice in Edgenuity. This practice is important in order to prepare students for the winter session of MAP tests in Reading and Math. I was informed that it is now possible to access it on an iPad as well.
Besides working on Phonics skills daily, I have started students practicing with sets of easy Phonic readers as well a set of ten leveled readers on the topic of animals. These leveled readers for Unit 1 can also be found on-line in the Ready Gen Reading program on savvasrealize.com. In a few weeks I will have individual students read these books to the class using the document camera.
In Social Studies we are working on different types of goods and services we use every day in our community. In Science we are starting a new unit on Sounds.
We will be working on the next set of sight words on the right side of the Dolch Sight Word list starting on Oct. 24th and I will be assigning them for homework for review.
