October 7-October 11
Here is a peek at what we will be
working on.
Reading: These
are our new reading vocabulary words for this week. They are the words that we will be learning
to read. A good way to help your child
practice is to put this letter in a handy spot where you will see it as a
reminder, and then have your child practice reading through the words a couple
of times each day.

Our reading comprehension skill is drawing
conclusions. We draw conclusions when we
use what we know about real life and what the author tells us in order to
figure out more about the characters and more about what is happening in the
story.
Spelling: Your
child’s list of spelling words is attached to this letter.
Dismissal Procedure: Mrs.
VanderVlucht is asking that all parents who come into the building to pick up
their children at the end of the school day wait by the elementary office
rather than by the classroom doors. Your
child will be sent to the office to meet you there. This will prevent confusion in the hallway,
and it will help us keep track of all children during hallway travel to the
buses. Thanks for your cooperation as we
begin this new procedure.
Book It Reading Program and Home Links: Wow! The boys and girls are off to a great start
with their nightly reading calendars and home links. This is possible because of the support they
are receiving from you at home. Thanks
so much for supporting and encouraging your child as he/she practices reading
and math at home. Your help makes a huge
difference.
Library: We return to the library on Monday. Please make sure all books are returned so
that more may be checked out.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Wimmler
