Word Families:

We have begun studying word families this week. On Monday's we will be brainstorming words and practice writing them. Also on Mondays the students will bring home a Word Study book to which they will have 5 words in it. These 5 words are to be practiced at home daily so your child can spell the word and read it. 
On Friday's I ask you to please return the books as we will have a spelling test with the 5 words. The spelling test is to help students learn how to spell words on their own as well as introduce them to new vocabulary. 
We have discussed a test is a way for teachers to see what students remember. There is no pressure to master the words for the test, but only that they begin to understand how a test is taken and how to participate appropriately.

Please ensure you practice this with your child daily :)

Gift From God Books

Just as a reminder please only complete the assigned pages in the Gift from God book as it goes along with the lesson competed that day.
