In spelling this week, we will be studying words with the consonants ph, gh, ck, and ng. Our spelling test will be on Friday, April 15th.
***Homework: Your child should have brought home a book that is on his/her independent reading level. They should be able to read it and fill out the Book Report form by Friday, April 15th. You may want your child to read a couple of pages out loud so that you can hear his/her fluency- or even ask a couple of questions each day. ***
