Testing schedule

We will follow this testing schedule every week. If it is going to change I will send home a note with the students and I will update the blog.

Thursdays: Spelling, Speed drills

Fridays: Reading, English, 2^nd Chance for Spelling

*Math tests will fall when we end a Math unit. I will put the testing date on the blog when it gets close.

Graded Papers

Graded papers will be sent home on Mondays in the daily homework folder. These papers will need to be signed and returned to school on Tuesday.

Important Dates

August 19, 2013 – Foundation Meeting/ Open House

September 2 – Labor Day (Holiday)

September 27 – Grandparents Day

Spelling words

I will add the spelling words each week just in case someone leaves the list at school or loses their list.

path, lamp, damp, crash, plant, math, trash, stamp, hatbox, have, grass, rags, back, black, that

bonus words to study: friend, bagel, brain. (Study all three of these words during the week. I will pick one on Friday to use as the bonus word.)

Homework

Homework will mostly be the same each week. The main thing that will change will be the math pages sent home. These will be sent home in the daily homework folder.

Reading: Read Gloria Who Might Be My Best Friend, study vocabulary

Spelling: Study spelling words

Math: worksheet or workbook page (depending upon the skill)

Classwork: finish any classwork not finished at school
