Dear parents,
From now until the end of the school year, we will be practicing spelling from the spelling program on a regular basis. 2 lessons per week will be given. Tests will continue to be on Thursdays. Monday, the additional test day will be added starting next week. So help prepare your child for the spelling test on Monday covering Lesson 16. The Lesson 17 Pretest will also be given on Monday. The Lesson 17 post test will be given on Thursday. The format of the post test is described in yesterday's blog. The format for the Pretests will be the traditional activity of writing only the lesson word which is dictated by the teacher. Students will not be actively practicing the spelling words in class, but will see them written on the board every day.

Homework:
1. Journal entry
2. In place of reading, please record in the Reading Log, Spelling Lesson 16, as the reading of that lesson will satisfy the home reading requirement. Remember to use a separate sheet of paper for the Write to the Point and the Challenge Yourself activities. Use 5 or more words in Write to the Point. Underline the lesson words in Challenge Yourself. Because the spelling lesson schedule is so tight, it is important that lessons in the book are completed and turned in on time or early.
3. SPELLING Lesson 16 p.94-99 (Parents, although it sounds like a lot, the students say it is easy and therefore balances itself out.)
4. MATH catch-up packets. Tomorrow I will be giving the lesson for pages 117 and 118 in the Math program. Students who are pages behind have a thin packet that must be completed in order for them to be board with the lessons being given in class each day. Please try to complete and RETURN the math packet tomorrow even if some parts may still remain incomplete.

Thank you.

Shalom
Ms. Luckett

P.S. I finally see my bio. up on the Main Carmel Primary School website under Teaching Staff. Please take a look at it and learn a little more about who your children are with throughout the school day. I greatly appreciate your support.
