**Don't forget to help us out with the School Store fundraiser! Many of our classroom tools came from this fundraiser over the years! It's super easy and all funds directly impact our classroom!
**If you have not paid for field trips this year (either the full $60 or the installments) please make sure you do that soon.
**For a successful year, please make sure to check and return your child's green folder daily.
**Great job on the nightly spelling and baggie book routine and helping your child read/recognize their weekly words. Please remember to sign the reading log each night. We greatly appreciate your help!
**Please don't forget to put all money and forms you send to school in the front pocket of your child's green folder. Please don't put money or forms in baggies with baggie books or in your child's book-bag or pocket. It would help us tremendously if you would please put it in an envelope and label what it is for and with your child's name as well. We greatly appreciate your help!

NEW SPELLING ROUTINE!
**We are excited to begin a new spelling routine! Our students have had a lot of success in previous years with spellling and reading. Spelling practice helps students with their encoding and decoding skills as well as their phoneme segmentation skills. All of these combined are examples what good readers need in order to be successful. Your child will have 10 "word family/Consonant-Vowel-Consonant words" to learn how to spell each week. There will be a simple exercise to complete each night with the words. We will send home the work for the entire week on Mondays. Your child has all week to complete them. It shouldn't take longer than 5-10 minutes to complete. The completed assignments can remain in your child's homework folder until Friday. We will check for completed assignments on Friday and give prizes for completion. Your child will also have a spelling test on those words on Friday.

**Don't forget to have your child read their baggie book at least 3 times with/to you. Don't forget to sign the reading log each night. No books will be sent home on Fridays.**Help your child read/recognize our Weekly High Frequency Words. We will send home words each week for recognition only. Students will need to practice recognizing/reading their Weekly Words each night. High-Frequency word recognition is very important-90% of texts students read are these "high-frequency words". We will have a recognition "test" on Fridays to check their progress.
Fridays are Ice Cream Days!
