We took our spelling pre-test today and homework was handed out today as well. The links at the top of the page have been updated so you can access the word lists. Homework is due by Thursday, so your child certainly doesn't have to do any work this weekend, but they can if they so choose.
Below is the letter that I meant to send home today, but alas, the pile is sitting right in front of me. Sorry about that.
January 4, 2013
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break. It is good to be back in the saddle.
Changes to Spelling Test/Weekly Homework Schedule
I handed out the Weekly Homework Sheets and spelling words today. The final test will be next Thursday and homework will be due that same day as well. Also, the spelling list that is assigned to your child is based upon how they did on today’s pretest. Our new homework/spelling schedule looks like this:
Fridays of Each Week:
· New spelling words handed out (we will do a pre-test to determine what list students will focus on).
· Homework is assigned.
|
Following Thursdays:
· Homework is due.
· Spelling test will be administered.
|
Rationale:
· This will allow students who wish to study their spelling words over the weekend to do so.
· Will build in more time to our classroom schedule for pre-testing and word practice.

Mr. V’s Class Christmas Party
Thanks to everyone who helped out with or provided treats for our party! I apologize that I missed it. I was planning on being here that day, but I had a family issue come up.
PE Shoes
Please make sure your child has PE shoes here on Tuesdays and Fridays. The kids are welcome to leave their PE shoes in our classroom closets if needed. Mrs. Z only has so many for the kids to borrow, and they aren’t always the right size. Thanks for your help with this matter!
