Friendly Reminder: Students should be reading for homework every night.  If  you need a new reading log, please let me know and I’ll put one in your child’s cubby.  Students should also be practicing their spelling words at least 2  nights a week.  ****Looking for ideas for practicing Spelling At home?? Here are a few: magnetic letters on the refrigerator, clap them out, use Scrabble tiles, air write them (use finger to write them in the air), finger paint, Spelling apps, jump and spell - use a jump rope - every time they jump over the rope they tell the next letter in the word, text them to Ms. Webb on Dojo or email, ask Ms. Webb for worksheets
