Hi Parents!
We've been working very hard this week. We took our first math test on addition. Please continue to review addition facts with your child. We work every day on our letter sounds. Listen to your child read each night and help them sound out their words.
Here are some homework tips: Spend about 15-20 minutes each night on homework. The packet should NOT be done in 1 or 2 nights - DON'T rush through! Each night your child should read to you, practice their sight words (previous weeks too), and do one of their sheets. Please check your child's work for accuracy AND neatness. Sometimes a sheet may come home midweek if your child had difficulty with a skill. Please return that the next day.
We visited the library for the first time on Wednesday. Help your child take care of the books he/she brings home. The backpack is a safe place to keep these books!
Our PTA has its own website now: dowellpta.org
Next Tuesday is early release. We will have a drummer/storyteller during specials.
If you have not returned your field trip permission and money or your EIP letter, please do so next week.
Remember to get a good night's sleep for our CogAT test Sept. 17-19!
