February 4-8

  D.A.R.E. Graduation Thursday, February 7th at 10:00. All parents are invited to attend.

This week's focus skill is theme.

This week's grammar skill is homophones.

 This 9 weeks spelling words are homophones. The test is Friday, February 15th. The words are bored, board, principle, principal, stationary, stationery, crews, cruise, presence, presents, flower, flour, allowed, aloud, peace, piece, dual, duel, flare, and flair. The students will not only have to spell the words correctly, but know the definitions of each homophone.

Homework goes home on Monday, February 4th and is due on Friday, February 8th. Remember homework is optional, but if correct, bonus points will be rewarded. For the rest of the year, I will only be sending home the homework with the students who tell me they plan on doing it. I am losing dozens of copies of homework that these students are taking, not completing, and not returning my copy. 

Reading tests from last Friday will go home on Tuesday, February 5th. If your child makes a D (60-69) or an F (59 or below) I have stamped the test sign and return. Please do so by Friday, February 8th.

• There will be a reading test on Friday, February 8th. It will consist of a cold read passage with questions involving theme.
• Please continue to talk with your child about their school work, homework, conduct, notes from the school/teachers, etc.
• Let me know if you need me in any way!
