I hope your week has started out great. We started a new Unit in reading today. All our stories for the next five weeks have to do with work and play. This week's story is "What Jo Did." Our English skill is common and proper nouns. Our spelling words are all plural words made by adding -s or -es. In math we are continuing to work on graphing.

Friday, September 17

Next week is a review week for reading, spelling, and English. Instead of a reading story, each student checked out an AR book on their level and must read it and take a test by next Friday, September 24th. I have a list with the name of the book each child checked out. If you would like to know what book your child is supposed to be reading, feel free to email me, jmichael@hsv.k12.al.us. In English we will be reviewing all the skills taught so far this year. These include declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences, subjects and predicate, and simple and compound sentences. For spelling, your child will have 25 words. The words are all the challenge words for weeks 1-5. These are listed on Spelling City under Unit 1 Review. I will also give the students a printed list on Monday. Finally, we started a new unit in math yesterday. We will be working on graphing for the next couple of weeks. Students need to know how to read graphs and also how to draw bar and line graphs.

REMINDERS
