The Weather Outside is Frightful, but Learning is so Delightful!

The phone calls keep coming. They inform us that we are, yet again, having a snow day. Here are a few ideas to help your child practice the skills we have been working on in class.

*Practice word wall words on the back of your newsletter
*Reread decodable books (if you have kept them)
*Practice subtraction and addition
*Practice words with short and long vowels
*Read a "Snowy" story. A good link to go to is http://creeksidelearning.com. It has several activities to go along with the story, " The Snowy Day."
*Bird watch (add and subtract birds in your very own yard)
*Read, read, read!!!
Please practice these skills with your child. It is very beneficial. Especially when the days keep passing by without school.
Enjoy! Have fun! I hope to see you soon!
