Hello parents!
Just a heads up that our spelling words this week were very difficult. It was obvious that although we practiced the words quite a bit here at school, many kiddos did not take the time to study them at home. Please encourage your kiddo to practice a few of their spelling words every night so that they can master them by their test on Friday! I spoke with some students about what their scores would be if I was to give them a grade for their report card today and many were not happy with them.
Also, any opportunities to read to increase fluency is encouraged. While all kiddos (yes, all 50 kiddos that I teach!) improved on their DIBELS fluency, some are still not at benchmark. The only way to get there is to read, read, read! Repeated readings are a great way to gain fluency. Just make sure that they are reading at a fifth grade level. Many books will say the grade level in the front cover or on the back.
Thanks!
Mindy :)
