Important Information!!
This Wednesday, April 8th, will be the Pick-Up & Drop-Off day from 9-11am and 4-6pm. Please make sure you come during one of these times to pick up your child’s materials for learning. We will begin using these materials right away and I don’t want your child to be left out. Thank you! Also, when you come please bring with you all work your child has completed. Math sheets, March Reading Log, Story Writing, Memory/Sight Word sheets, etc. You do NOT need to bring the “Groves” white & yellow book since your child will need that to continue using it. Make sure your child has his/her name on ALL papers. Please save everything your child does!! I will need to see these!! THANK YOU!
We are Learning About:
Reading: Read 20 minutes daily. Keep track by filling in the April Reading Log each day, then at the end of April, you can turn it in to me. Thank you.
Phonics/Groves: We have been working on Phonics by learning Rhyme Production, Blending Phonemes, Isolating Medial (middle) sounds, Substituting Initial Phonemes, and Deleting Phonemes. We continue to learn Onset Fluency (beginning sound), Ending Fluency (ending sound in a word), Middle sound in a word, Blending words, Segmenting Phonemes, Adding Phonemes, Letter Naming & the sound they make. We have learned all the letters of the alphabet.
Math: Continue using the math sheets I sent home on Monday, March 16th: Topics 1, 2, 3, & 6. We will begin Topic 14 after you come to pick up the next round of materials for your child on April 8th.
Religion: We will learn about ”Easter Sunday.”
Humanities: We will learn about “The Ten Commandments.”
Science: Please have your child watch one or two videos each week on the Scholastic site (below). Make sure your child is clicking on the comprehension questions, etc.

Star of the Day
You will have to tune-in each day to see who is the Star! That “person” (puppet) will help me with the morning calendar routine!
Memory/Sight Words
Memory/Sight words are words we find in every sentence we read. Students must know these words to be able to read a sentence. Students should memorize these words, NOT sound them out. Please practice these words every day, both reading them and spelling them.
