Lesson 1 starts the first lesson in our reading series. We took our first spelling
pretest. Your child will be tested on the ten spelling words again on Friday. Please
practice the words this week. I sent home a spelling tic-tac-toe homework sheet. As
your child completes an activity please put an x on the sheet. By Friday your child
should have completed three activities. Return the tic-tac-toe page signed by you on
Friday to show that your child completed his/her spelling homework for the week. I do
not need to see their work, only the signed tic-tac-toe page. Each week your child will
bring home reading homework. This may include word lines, sentences, stories on paper
and stories in their anthology book as well as other books. Please have your child read
these to you for fluency practice. The anthology book must be returned the following
day as we use them in class.
