The week of March 1-5!

 Wow!  We already made it to March!  We are loving the beautiful outdoor weather for recess!

It was great meeting with all of you for our zoom conferences!  Thank you for making the time to find out how your child is doing at school!  They've all made huge gains this year and will make even more the last quarter and a half!  

Below you will see many pictures from our 100's Day celebration!  Just a reminder to look for anything that might resemble what a 100 year old might wear this Friday, March 5.  I'm attaching the ideas on the letter I sent last week.

The next two weeks we are studying the long e for spelling and phonics.  This spelling unit will be tough with the ee and ea.  They will just have to memorize the spellings as there is not any tricks to learning them.   It would be helpful to begin working on 2-3 a day each day and reviewing the from the day before with the new words. I've told them the tricks for the sight words.   The list is coming home today.  The test will be on Mar. 12.

Spelling sight words:

1. what--wh--at

2. or

3. this

4. use--magic e makes the u long

5. each--ea -when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking

6. their

7. were

Pattern Words:

3.  weed

4.  team

5.  heat
