Week 34

This week we are reading "Sleep Is for Everyone." It is a nonfiction story giving information about why sleep is important, and giving facts and details about sleep. The phonics skill is the short e sound made by the letters /ea/ as in the word head. The new vocabulary is:

afternoon

bicycle

carry

hours

parents

We have reached the review chapter in math. Time and money remain the skills that need work. Most are comfortable with time on the hour and half hour. The quarter hour and 5 minute intervals are still a work in progress. Please use opportunities for you child to practice counting money over the summer break.

Most everyone is at level or beyond in spelling. That is really great. They have worked hard to get there.

I still have a couple kids that I would like to see earn a shirt by the end of the year. I hope they make it.

It is hard to believe that this school year is almost over. Time flies!!!

Have a great week.
