FALL BLAST….Friday night, Nov. 7^th

50^th Anniversary of Ralph Askins School….Sunday, Nov. 9^th 2-4

Our story this week is a fiction selection titled Head, Body, Legs. It is a folk tale. Our spelling words come from this selection. We will have 16 spelling words this week. If the children break the words into syllables it is much easier to spell. We do work on this in the classroom.

Here is our list for this week.

Spelling words:(long o with the ea, ee, y and e patterns)

eat, leaf, mean, queen, need, seek, baby, pony, he, we, gasped (gas ped), attached (at ta ch ed),

frantically (f ran tic al ly), swung, breathe (br ea the),

delicious (de li ci ous) If we get the chance we will pretest on Thursday but our main test schedule is on Friday.

Please check and sign agendas nightly.

Math this week is concentrating on

reviewing place value, rounding to the nearest 10 and regrouping in addition.

Several have moved up in A.R. this week and have begun new stories. Please encourage your child to choose different types of stories and not just true books or Scooby Doo etc. You have very bright children and I appreciate the opportunity to work with them.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work with your child this year!!
