Happy Friday everyone!  Well, we made it through our first 5 day week!  Everyone did a super job!  This is such a nice group of students.

Today we practiced using letter sounds and chunks (such as at, an, er, th) to help us when we come to a word we don’t know.  We sang a song “Look at the letters and the chunks.  Don’t let that word put you in a funk!  If you get stuck on a word, look at the letters and the chunks!  Chunkity-chunk-chunk-chunk-chunk!)  This song goes to the tune of “Yackity, yack, don’t talk back, if you want to practice it at home!

We are learning how to use the writing process to help make our stories even better than they currently are.  Today we wrote down several topic ideas for a personal narrative (a story about ourselves/our own lives).  Ask your child what his/her topic ideas are.

Grace was recognized for staying on task this week!  Way to go Grace!

Thanks for helping your child with the math homework this week!

Enjoy your weekend!
