Spelling Starts This Week!

We are off to a great start in our class! I am so impressed with all of the hard working students and the positive attitudes. It is so awesome to be moving along so early in the year!
This week our spelling program starts. EVERY MONDAY your child will have 10 words that match the homework and 5 new sight words. The homework is due EVERY THURSDAY and tests will be EVERY FRIDAY. All words will be printed in the agendas to help with studying. The homework can be sent back in the agenda once it is complete. Today we talked about working on spelling homework in small chunks each night to help have it complete by Thursday morning. Some students will love the idea of homework and will have it finished before bed tonight!

Words this week focus on the short a sound:
am - hand - as - land - ask - mad - has - add - was - act

Sight words this week:
going - is - then - when - from

Thanks to everyone who was able to attend the Welcome Back BBQ! It was quite fun and busy! Sorry if I did not get a chance to speak with you! Thanks for understanding the hectic schedule of the night.


This Friday we will be kicking off our History of Lethbridge Social Studies Unit. We start with a really great walk to the top of the coulees to talk about what the land looked like as well as First Nation history that is part of our community. If you would like to join us for this walk Friday am please let me know by email or agenda. More info will come home tomorrow.
