Spelling/Phonics– We are still reviewing our first 100 “No Excuse” words

Reading– This week we are comparing and discussing “Real Readers vs. Fake Readers”, “What does a real reader look like?” and “Good readers ask questions”.

Math– We are reviewing and working on our doubles (4+4, 5+5), doubles +1 (4+5, 6+7), and doubles -1 (4+3, 6+5). We really want them to learn and memorize their doubles facts because it will help them add their other math facts quicker, especially their doubles +1 and doubles -1.

Homework– Thank you for reading with your child every night and signing their reading logs. It makes a huge difference in your child’s reading if you do read with them at least 20 minutes every night. I am sure you have noticed by now that they have a math homework sheet for this week. Again, thank you to those who have already completed and worked on these with your child. Remember, you do not have to complete all of it on Monday night but it is okay if you did. You have all week to complete it, just make sure that it is complete by Friday morning.

Reminders
*Pep rallies begin this Friday. They are typically held on Friday afternoons at 3:00 in the high school gym. Teachers will not be taking students to the pep rally but you may check your child out to attend one. Just remember that you must send a note to your child’s teacher each week if you plan to check them out. You may send a note or write a note in their planner. Only students who have a note will be sent to the cafeteria at 2:30 for pick up. Adults will enter through the main doors beside the gym (intermediate doors) and sign their student out in the cafeteria. Students must be accompanied by an adult at the pep rally.
*Monday, September 3rd is Labor Day holiday, there will be no school on that day.

Have a great week and hopefully we will get some rain tomorrow!
