Weekly Newsletter

Fry Words:

You may have noticed that your child has brought home a print out of the 1st 25 fry words. We are using an amazing web site that helps us quickly quiz students on words and gives us a percentage of words correct. If the word has “no” written beside it, that means your child did not instantly recognize that word. We will review the 1st 25 words until your child reaches 92% correct. We will then move on to the next set of words. Just like multiplication and other skills, without use or review we forget. We do not want the students to forget the words, so we are reviewing. Please continue the awesome work you are doing at home. We appreciate all that you do.

Spelling Words

Our test will be Friday. Please study a few minutes each night.
• drop
• drip
• ten
• men

Brag Board:

We are excited to have so many students accomplishing so many wonderful benchmarks. Because of this, your child’s name may be taken off of a section of the brag board if his or her name has been there for a week or two. We have to make room for the other friends who are also accomplishing great things. We are proud of everyone for working so hard.
