Also your child should be bringing home a t-shirt order form tonight. T-shirt forms and money are due Thurs. August 25th. T-shirts are required for field trips and optional on Mustang Madness Fridays.
I also sent home a letter about spelling for the next weeks. It is pasted below:
Aloha Parents:
In the next few weeks, your fifth grader will be learning to spell words using the Scott Foresman Spelling Program. The words for the lessons will be presented to your child in unit form every Monday. You can help your child practice these words at home. I will be sending home spelling strategies that your child will need to choose for homework once a week to practice their spelling. They will have 9 spelling activities to choose from and each week they will chose a different activity. Be sure your child is doing a different spelling activity each week. Once they have completed one spelling activity, they can mark it off on their spelling sheet for the 9 weeks. Another activity you can help your child study their words in addition to homework and teaching in class is listed below.
Dictation: Read out loud each spelling words. Have your child repeat the word, use it in a sentence, and then spell it correctly. Check to make sure that your child has spelled the word correctly. If any words are misspelled, help your child figure out a strategy to use that will make it easier to remember the correct spelling.
Thank you for your help- it takes a village to raise a child and a village to teach them! Here’s to a great first 9 weeks of spelling!
Mahalo,
Mrs. Embley
I also will be posting an exciting link to spelling city which is a website the students can go to play games to learn vocabulary and spelling words.
Hope everyone is having a great second week back to school! Our first week was superb!!
