Homework Reminders:

*Nightly Fluency: Students need to be reading their fluency each night! They also need to do the questions on the back and write their response to the last question in complete sentences to receive full credit.

*Seesaw homework activities: Each weeknight there is a seesaw activity students need to complete. Some will be graded and entered into PowerSchool. Some are just for practice.

*Spelling Word Preview Words: Words are sent home Monday and will be tested each Friday. The Word Preview Words for each week are listed on the Spelling page of the blog. 

*Spelling Words to Learn: Corrected Spelling Tests are being sent home today with your child. The only words that were "graded" were the five Word Preview Words from the beginning of the week. However, I did look over all the words on the test. These are all important second grade frequency words. Attached to the test is your child's Words To Learn. They are circled. These are the words he/she missed on the pretest (at the beginning of the year) and the test we took today. I will continue to add to the list each week and staple it to your child's test, so you have a current list of words they need to work on at home. Please go over the circled words with them. If a word is circled and starred, that means he/she has missed it more than once. Please extra practice those words!
