In comes February...with the flu!

It has been a rough start to the month of February. I have had many students out the last week or so with the flu. It has been tough trying to catch everyone up, so make sure you are taking the proper steps at home to keep your child as healthy as possible! We have been scrubbing our desks daily and washing hands after recess and before lunch. This weeks vocabulary words are: again, both, gone, or, want, turn, and hard. This weeks spelling words are stilling following the vowel team pattern, but there is an exception this week with ow combinations ( they will make the long O sound). The words are: boat, slow, coat, grow, show, toad, coast, and know. These words are very tough so be sure to practice daily! Please continue to read at least 120 minutes a week! Every child can use the extra practice, you can never be a good enough reader, practice is needed at any age.
