Spelling Words:
We will have our spelling test on Friday of this week.
Our words this week are:
Fluency Passages:
I have had some questions on fluency passages so I thought this might be the best way to answer them all. Fluency passages are not intended to have your student read super fast and not understand anything they read. The purpose of these is first to give many opportunities for repetitions of sight words, especially with those first passages. The second is to help students read with fluency which is necessary for comprehension. Fluency doesn't mean just speed. We explain it as reading "how you talk" or "with expression" (i.e. excited or questioning, pausing slightly at end marks and commas, etc.)
Math:
We will be finishing up our Place Value unit this week. Our test will be on Friday. I think they are going to do great!
Read Across America Week:
The remaining days for this week are:
Roaring to Read:
I sent home flyers about the Roaring to Read program in December. If your student is participating I need their reading log back no later than March 22nd. This gives me time to get everything together and sent in before Spring Break.
100th Day:
We had so much fun! Here are a few pictures of our day.
