Why go so far when you can come to TITUS!!!

While the library is open, there are also some very exciting reading activities available for students in each grade level! Check out our summer library calendars to see what's happening at Titus!

In School this Week...
Word Wall
The Word Wall is a great writing tool in our classroom. I do not expect the students to memorize each word wall word, but they do need to be aware that the words are on the wall, so they can use them as a reference when writing in the classroom.
This week's word wall words are: dear, happy, outside, through, until
For the remainder of the year, our weekly word wall words will be included on our Friday spelling tests. The words will always be available on the wall; the children will need to locate them and spell them correctly. Please practice these words at home with your child.
Spelling
This week’s spelling words are: bean, feet, soap, nose, mule, tube.
The challenge words are: glue, dream.
Please practice these words at home with your child. There will be a spelling test on Friday!!
