September 26th-30th Spelling Words

This week we are studying the following rule:

The (ng) sound in the middle or end position = ng (king)
The (ng) sound before the (k) sound or the (g) sound = n (sink)

honk               long
bank               king
song               hang
bang               ink

Missing!

We have a book from our classroom library missing. If you wouldn't mind, please check around your house and see if it was brought home by accident, I would really appreciate it! The title of the book is: "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules".

Thank you!

In addition students have reading homework. This week I sent home a reading log. Students should read for 10 minutes every night and document it on the reading log. Students may read any book of their choice for right now. Once I am able to assess reading levels, your child will bring home books from the classroom to read. We went to the library today, so students should have books to read from. Thank you for all of your help and encouraging your child in reading and spelling at home!

Wow!!

Thank you for sending in all of the boxtops. Our class collected 650 box tops!! We will celebrate with a pizza party on Thursday! Keep collecting and thanks for supporting Southwood Valley!
