Happy New Year!

We are back in action!  I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Years celebration!  With the new year, I have set some goals for our class.  Over the next 5 months, we will work very hard on our reading and math skills. 

Here are just a few reminders and updates:

1.  The January volunteer calendar has been posted.  If you would like to volunteer, please let me know.  We LOVE volunteers!

2.  Homework is due on Friday unless you contact me

3.  In addition to weekly spelling and comprehension tests, your students will also be tested on sight words and reading fluency.  As a reminder, your child is expected to read 53 words correct per minute by May.

4.  This week's spelling list has been published.  We are working on er, ir, and ur.  Since there is not a rule to follow when using the r controlled spellings, we will have a set word list.
