 You have been given a one page list of "High Frequency Words" or "Fry" words to practice for the 3rd quarter.  Your child knows to keep this in his/her Apple Binder.  We are looking for words to be read correctly and fluently~~these are NOT timed.

**Your child will be working towards completing 2 or 3 FASTT MATH lessons this week.

**STUDENT OF THE WEEK: 


**READING/SPELLING:   Our story for this week is "Frogs."  We will read our story then learn how to compare and contrast.  Spelling words include diphthongs "ou and ow."

*DICTATION SENTENCES ~~ (See Spelling page in Apple Binder).

 

**Students must write Spelling words and read AR books at home every single night!

 

 

**LANGUAGE/HANDWRITING:  This week we are studying reflexive pronouns such as himself, herself, and ourselves.  Test is on Friday. 

 

 I am very proud of your handwriting!  Teachers and parents who have seen your work on the wall outside our classroom have complimented your hard work!  :)

 

**MATH   This quarter, students will learn about counting money, telling time, and geometric shapes.  **Please go ahead and start counting a handful of change on the table at home.  We will start counting quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.  Also, we are using an analog clock (one with hands) to tell time.  Please also begin practicing telling time to the nearest half hour and quarter hour.
