Today has been my best first day since I started teaching fifth grade here at UCES 15 years ago! Your children are delightful!
Be sure to initial the agenda each school night.
Each child received a list of spelling and vocabulary for this week (test Friday). The sheet explains everything that they need to do, but here it is in a nutshell:
The required homework (HW) for tonight is to write the 20 spelling words in ABC order in the agenda (NOT on a sheet of notebook paper to turn in, but actually in the agenda). It's okay if they need another sheet to help them alphabetize, but I am only looking at the words in the agenda.
Spelling 3 times each is due Thursday. We started it in class today so that they would understand my format. We will NOT do this each week; I am teaching some of my expectations and procedures so that IF they need to write them to help study them, they will know how I want them to do it.
Vocabulary sentences are due on Friday. We also started them today in class. This week, the sentences need to be at least 10 words long. They need to underline the vocabulary word in the sentence.
Thanks for a terrific start to a great year!
