The Cottontails are eager to begin learning more about letter sounds. Next week, we will begin our weekly spelling routine. Your help is needed in ensuring a successful routine. Beginning Monday, August 27th, your child will be periodically bring home a spelling "sort". Sorts will go home each Monday, or, at times, every other Monday. The Cottontail Communicator (found weekly in your child's Take Home Folder) will detail your child's weekly sort and whether it's a new sort for the week or a continuation from the week prior.
When your child brings home their weekly sort please be sure that they take some time each Monday evening that new sort goes home to cut out the sort and then write their initials on the back of each sort card. These cut cards should then make their way into the new Spelling Sort bag you will find on the right side of your child's Take Home Folder. Please be sure these sort cards travel back and both to school via the new plastic bag everyday. Your help with this portion of their weekly home activities is essential in preparing your child in participating in at school spelling activities throughout the week.
I have linked a Word Study Routine document that outlines our weekly routine at school and a recommended weekly routine for you to follow at home. This document can also be found on the Welcome page's right sidebar. In addition, I will send out personal emails this weekend that further details your child's spelling stage. Please read this document carefully and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for your help in the successful introduction to another new routine.
