Hello Parents,
        This week we will begin to use planners.  These will come home when homework is due.  It will have spelling words, word wall words, and homework assignments.  Just sign your name on the correct date when homework is finished.
          
        We are focusing on 3 reading strategies to figure out new words
        1.  Look at the pictures.
        2.  Skip the word you don’t know, then reread the sentence                              and see if the word pops in your head.
        3.  This should be the last cue you give them; sound it out or just give them the word.  
Listed below is this weeks agenda.  
Language Arts:
        We will be studying words that begin with: b, r, h,and g; and end with: ig, in, and it  word families, cause and effect,, compare and contrast, capital letters, and nouns.
