Dear Parents,
Each week our students are given 12 words to study to enhance their vocabulary. We have chosen to test the students each Monday (unless we tell them otherwise). We do this to allow more time for our kids to study.
Learning vocabulary is very important to understand higher level texts. Please encourage your child to study a few words each night so they are ready for their assessment.
On the FCAT there is a section called Words and Phrases which assesses the students on their knowledge of synonyms, antonyms, homophones, and words with multiple meanings.
Our students have to learn good habits to be prepared for success. Please continue to motivate your child to complete their homework and study. If they are taking too long to complete their assignments, please let us know. At this point in the year, students should be aware of time management and our expectations for completing certain tasks.
We would be happy to conference with you to help explain how we can work together to help your child. On Friday, January 18th, we have a Planning Day. If you would like to schedule a time to meet with us, please let us know.
Thank you for your support!!!
