A Note About Spelling & the Welcome Back BBQ

WELCOME BACK BBQ


Don't Forget: Thursday, September 4th, is our Welcome Back BBQ from 6-8 pm.  It is a great time to meet your child's teachers, as well as learn about some of the great community resources available to you.  

Everyone in your family is invited!  We hope to see you there.




SPELLING MATTERS

Why does spelling matter?
Today you should notice a navy blue duo-tang in your child's backpack which contains their weekly spelling work.  New spelling words will come home at the beginning of the week, and homework will always be due Thursday.  Your child will also write their spelling words in the agenda when a new spelling list is given so that they always have access to these words.

Please help your child find a time to practice their spelling words throughout the week, as we will have regular spelling tests on Fridays.  

A couple of websites to practice the spelling words are: Spelling City (http://www.spellingcity.com) and Kids Spell (http://www.kidsspell.com).  Please make sure to have your child enter their own spelling words on these websites in the "create a custom list" or "enter your words" category.

Thank you for supporting your child's learning!
