Thanks to everyone who returned the signed spelling test books. Friday's test this week is all about the "et" words; they're listed in the students' agendas.
Thanks, too, to the people who've been reviewing the list of sight words that was sent home. It's making a HUGE difference to the students who are practicing and will pave the way to smoother, more confident reading.
I hope everyone is enjoying the book bag reading program. Thanks for looking after the contents of the bags so well.
The first grade students brought home an apple book today. It can stay at home - another wonderful addition to your family's library! Ask your child to read it to you, then point out individual words and have them say them. We learned that "ow" can say the "ou" part of "ouch". (We'll talk later on about the fact that it also says "O" as in "snow".) We talked about the "ow" sound because it's part of one of the title words: the word "how". Now you can ask them to try out other "ow" words: cow, bow, now, pow, wow, etc.
