Weekly Phonics Skill
Instead of a traditional spelling list to memorize each week, we will be focusing on a phonics skill to practice. I will provide a set list of example words that will be tested. The students will also be tested on applying the rule to new words as well. These skills will be tested along with our weekly grammar test on Fridays. No test this week.
Vocabulary
fable – a short story told to teach a lesson
moral – a lesson
compare – showing how two things are alike
contrast – showing how two things are different
Notes from the Coach
- Every Monday, your child will receive this newsletter. It will tell you everything you need to know about what is going on in our classroom, so it is very important that you read it and go over it with your child every week!
- Every Thursday, I will send home your child’s test folder (blue plastic folder).. All test receiving a grade of D or F will need to be signed and returned to me in the folder. In addition, the cover of the folder should be signed as well.
- There will be at least some homework every night Monday – Thursday. I believe that practice is important, but this should not take longer than 20 – 30 minutes. Always, there will be math, phonics, and occasionally another subject. Check their agenda nightly. Also, the students should be reading an on-level book minutes every night.
