Vocabulary : None this week.
Cursive: Cursive practice.
Spelling/phonics: We will be taking the test for multisyllabic words Friday 18th. The next two weeks we will be studying words that are related to one another. All of the words are in cursive, so please practice writing these at home. I would suggest spelling them orally, and writing them out each night. Please try to do two or more enrichment words each week. We will do Orton-Gillingham exercises each week to learn the spelling rules, and patterns. The test will be Thursday 31st. (two week unit)

PLEASE WORK ON TIMES TABLES. (ALL) Most students have passed these, but all students must continue to work hard to get these more automatic, and faster. So please hit these hard. Do the math homework, and return it each day. Parents please check the homework. ( It is usually two papers.)
