Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a nice break! I enjoyed spending time with my family, my husband's family, and our family. We moved Molly home from Milledgeville and she's almost settled in at our house. She goes to Iowa next week and then she starts her clinical rotations here the next week.
Thank you for my surprise package of great birthday cards! That was so sweet!
Report cards will go home Thursday. I will not send home signed papers Wednesday when we come back to school. We did some graded work the week before Christmas and we will do some this week, so I'll send both weeks home in the red folder next Monday. All of this work will count on the third nine weeks.
In spelling this week we will review long vowel words. It's a short week, so the test this week will not count. I am starting the dictation sentence on the spelling test this week. At the beginning of the week I will give the children the sentence that will be on the spelling test. It will be graded like a daily edit sentence. I will check for spelling, spacing, capitalization, word order, and punctuation. We'll do all of this during the week but everything will be practice. It will start counting as a grade next week.
Here is what we'll be doing in this short week:
Reading -- long vowel review, predicting
Spelling -- Spelling City list 6-3, dictation sentence: Please pray for me.
Language -- contractions
Math -- fact families, graphs, place value review
Social Studies -- work
Bible -- The Boy Jesus (We will practice Luke 2:52 as a memory verse, but it will not count on the Bible grade)
See you Wednesday!
Mrs. Morrison
