Building a READING LIFE
Word Study
Monday nights- Students are to sort their words and record them in their notebooks. They are to also record their discovery or rule for the week.
Tuesday and Wednesday nights- Students should sort their words and read them as they sort. They can practice writing them on paper, whiteboards, or typing them. NO WRITTEN homework is required on these nights.
Thursday nights- Students are to ask an adult to quiz them on their words. They write the headers and then record the words as they are called out. The adult should use the notebook to correct the sort and ask the student to practice any words that were spelled incorrectly. This can be done on the back of the homework sheet. This paper should then be returned to school Friday morning.
Friday- there will be a test given
Writing long & strong

STAFF RAFFLE
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our Relay for Life Staff Raffle will run from 3/20-3/31 in support of our school Relay for Life team, North Coventry Cancer Busters & Fight on Makenna. The staff raffle is a fund raiser in which the North Coventry teachers and staff offer to spend some out-of-class time with students doing fun activities together such as tea parties, yoga, bowling, etc. There are some games and toys available for raffle as well. Each student will receive one free ticket so all can participate. The students will then be able to buy tickets for 50¢ each (starting 3/20/17) from their homeroom teacher and fill it out with their name, grade and homeroom teacher’s name. They will then place their tickets in the bag(s) of their choice. Drawing will be 3/31. Thanks in advance for your support of our Relay for Life fundraiser!
