Click here for the homework packet for this week! Some students left folders in mailboxes, so you can print a page that you think isn't finished yet.  And see if you can find Ms. Feinman's mistakes!  There are a few!  You might get a special prize if you can find them!!!



SPELLING TEST IS TOMORROW!!!!




There are two spelling groups this week.  I highlighted the words on your child's homework calendar that he or she needs to practice.  

Spelling city is a great resource. Click here for online games, tests, and practice. 


This week's homework.  


Today the students were given a pretest to determine which spelling group they would be in.  Then they practiced their words, by writing them on a white board.  Some students had fun testing themselves with the words.  Remember, your student can go to www.spellingcity.com to practice their words!





Students were given a spelling test today.  Based on their performance, they are either in Group 1, Group 2, or Group 2 Challenge words.  You can find this information on the homework calendar.  

Please go to www.spellingcity.com and search for Feinman.  You will find the same words from last week, are the words for this week.   



A reading log was also sent home.  Please make sure your child reads for 20 minutes everyday. The reading log is due next Monday.
