Dear Families; November 22, 2019

With us nearing the end of the marking period, I am required to complete a series

of tests to be able to monitor your child’s progress. This includes reading with

each child individually, students writing/spelling 100 sight words, a math

assessment and more. I purposely did not give students spelling words this week

because I thought it would be too much stress. Spelling words will resume after

the holiday. Given this will be the last correspondence before the break, I would

like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope it is a time of family fun and

memories.

Math:

o Subtraction Word problems

o Using number lines to help with subtraction

o Math assessment

Phonics:

o Introduction of the /oo/ sound as in ‘soon’ o Spelling all 100 sight words
