NEW "In a Snap" Words
This week students will receive a new 4th Nine Weeks "In a Snap Word" list. Please practice these words nightly along with your child's weekly concept list. The "In a Snap" word list can be found inside your child's binder. Thanks!
300 High-Frequency Words
Your child received a list of words to study at home. Students need to be able to read these words quickly without having to use decoding strategies. Write the words your child continues to miss on index cards and practice these words daily. Thanks so much for partnering with us to inspire strong and independent readers!
Can't find the list that was sent home? No problem!

Reminders
Please read the article below from the Washington Post concerning important changes to the math vocabulary we use in class. It is so important that the words we use in class are also being used at home, while you are practicing addition/subtraction with or without regrouping with your child. Thank you for your partnership as we work to develop strong mathematicians here at O. C. Taylor!

Pop Tabs for Ronald McDonald House
The Pirate CFO Future Exploration class is collecting pop tabs to help benefit the Ronald McDonald house in Fort Worth. The money that is collected at the recycling center from the tabs is an amount that is a huge benefit to the Ronald McDonald house! Did you know from just the "pop tabs" collected in our area, the Fort Worth Ronald McDonald house receives between $5000-$6000 to help support the needs at the house? The aluminum tabs do not have to be only from "pop" cans. They can come from any aluminum can! Thank you for helping our Future Exploration students in supporting our community members!
Thank you for your help & support!
