The Cottontails are eager to begin learning more about letter sounds. This week, we will begin our weekly spelling routine. Your help is needed in ensuring a successful routine. Beginning Monday, September 8th, your child will be periodically bringing home a spelling "sort". Sorts will go home 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.
On the Mondays, your child brings home their weekly sort please be sure that they take time each Monday evening to cut out the sort AND write their initials on the back of each sort card.
Then 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 DAILY. 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 Weekly Word Study Routine document that outlines our weekly routine at school and a recommended weekly routine for you to follow at home. Please read this document carefully and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. We will discuss your child's Spelling placement at our upcoming PEP conference. Thank you in advance for your help in the successful introduction to another new routine.
