I am starting to wonder if we will ever have a full week of school! This has been a crazy, cold winter. I feel like I am "tweaking" our schedule everyday. I am going to try to get back into a routine and post once or twice a week to the blog. Right now, we are all having a hard time getting back into a routine.
I am not sending a homework sheet anymore. I felt like it was a little waste of paper. Instead, I will send an email each week with the homework listed. Let me know if you have questions.
Here are a few things we are working on in Room 4:
* Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives
* Long vowels-spelling words are getting a little harder. I told the kids they may need to spend a few extra minutes each week studying for the spelling test on Friday.
* Asking questions when we read-I hope you have all taken some time to read through the information I sent home for reading homework. We are working on retelling a story with details so kids should be able to tell characters, setting, details of what happened, problem, solution, etc. The more they practice, they better they will get. I appreciate the support at home.
Please continue to work on the Fluency folder each week. I am seeing a big jump in many scores. It truly has helped all kids. Thanks again for taking on this roll at home.
Hopefully this cold weather will be on its way out soon. Until then, stay warm!!
