Superstars

We did addition and time for the 4th six week grading period and we will do subtraction and money for the 5th six week grading period. Please note that this is different than what is listed on the grade card but we felt it would be easier on the students to teach it this way instead.

HOMEWORK:

Homework bags will go home today and will be due back Thursday.

You should be reading with your child every day. It is so important to go over the sight words we are studying. Sound out easy words with your child and challenge them to sound out on their own.
