Days Two and Three are Wednesday: Read story at home and write Spelling words.
Day Four is Thursday: Prepare for Reading test tomorrow!  We will play Spelling "Sparkle."
Day Five is Friday: Reading, Spelling, Language tests today.  We can do this!

Please write Spelling words three times each every night at home! We will check words at school daily.  I HIGHLY recommend that parents give their children a practice test every Thursday night.  Remember: Words from LAST week will be included in this week's dictation sentences.
 
**There are two parts to doing homework: Doing the work at home, and returning it in the homework pocket of your Apple Binder. 

**LANGUAGE/HANDWRITING
We will learn to identify the subject of a sentence this week. Students are learning to use their best handwriting. We will write our first and last name and the date on our papers. I am so proud of your effort! 

**MATH
We will continue learning  about odd and even numbers, and will also learn about "doubles."  Use addition flash cards, games and computer activities to reinforce addition facts. 

**SOCIAL SCIENCE
We will finish learning about urban, suburban, and rural communities, then begin studying "Balancing and Weighing."
