Here are some reminders for our upcoming week.
1) Monday is Day 4 of our cycle
2) Library is on Wednesday (Day 1)
3) Our October newsletter was emailed out via EDSBY. Please refer to this email and read to learn what is happening in our classroom.
3) Our MWW words are starting this week. MWW stands for Making Words Work. We work with these words all week on decoding and encoding strategies. On Friday there will be a dictation. (encoding)
We have a yellow duotang coming home next week with a supplementary worksheet. This worksheet is due back by Friday each week. We write our words in our agenda on Mondays. We also will be coming home with a blue reading folder. This is to be kept at home, and we will have a decodable passage coming home every week that we have MWW words. Please put this passage in the blue reading folder. We will be reading this passage in class as well. We will use our decoding strategies taught in class so far. I encourage the students to read nightly for 10-20 minutes. Reading familiar texts is beneficial because it helps develop reading fluency, builds confidence and vocabulary, and reinforces memory through repeated exposure to patterns and language.
