This Week’s Homework:
The
following assignments should be completed and turned in by Friday:
1.
Ocean Animal Research (the outline is in your child's folder today). You will use this information to create a
poster to present to your classmates in the form of an oral report on Friday,
May 16th. Please refer to the
timeline below.
2.
2-3 choices from our monthly family activity
calendar.
3.
Practice reading our sight words every night.
4.
Ten minutes (or more!) of reading every night
with a parent, guardian, or older sibling, etc.
I’m sure your child would love to read the book in his or her small
manila folder to you! Sight words are
fun to read together, too. Reading
together every night is VERY important.
Let’s work together to develop a love of books and reading in our
children!
School
library books are due every Wednesday morning.

will have a sharing time this Friday.
