Spelling/LA Update - 2nd Trimester
As we begin the second trimester, I want to let you know about a small change to our daily spelling homework routine. My goal is to help students stay organized and better prepared for both their weekly Spelling Quiz and Vocab/Story Test each Friday.
Here is the updated weekly plan:
- Monday (In School): Students will complete 2x Each for their spelling words during class time.
- Monday Night Homework: Put all spelling words in ABC order 3x each.
- Tuesday Night Homework: Write sentences for words 1–10 using word from ABC order list.
- Wednesday Night Homework: Write sentences for words 11–20 using word from ABC order list.
- Thursday Night Homework: Prepare for Spelling Quiz and Story/Vocab Test
This new schedule will help students review their words in smaller, more manageable steps throughout the week while also giving them ample practice before Friday’s assessments. Thank you for your support at home! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
DISMISSAL:
Students should bring in a note with specifics about their dismissal method on the first day of school . If your child is a bus rider, please send in their pass that we will attach to their folder. If they are not taking the bus please write car rider or PM Care. If their schedule varies please try your best to write the known schedule in the note.
Please send in a note with your child if there is a change to their dismissal method. Please call the main office if their dismissal method changes throughout the course of the day. Please do not depend on your child to know their correct dismissal method.
- Car Riders: AAC Pickup: Last names beginning with A-K or Cafeteria Pickup: Last names beginning with L-Z
- Bus: Please send in the bus pass provided by MOESC in addition to a note for me with the days your child will be taking the bus home.
- PM Care: Please send in a note with the days your child will be attending. If your child will not be attending PM Care on their regularly scheduled day please send in a note so I can provide to PM Care with the notice of the change.
SNACK:
Snack will be eaten in the classroom around 9:40 AM. Please send in a small, healthy, peanut and nut free snack and water in a separate and labeled snack bag so it is not confused with their lunch.
LUNCH:
Students may bring lunch from home or preorder from the cafeteria. See the school website and handbook for additional information. Please note that students in 2B will have both snack and lunch on Early Dismissal days.
EARLY DISMISSAL DAYS:
On early dismissal days the cafeteria is closed for purchases. Students in 2B should bring in both a small nut free snack and a lunch.
