**News about High Frequency Word Sentences:
Last week we talked about adding details to sentences. The class was told that their High-Frequency Word Sentence assignments (yellow sheet) will have to contain details such as adjectives or prepositional phrases in order to get full credit. For example: "I have eyes." needs to be changed to "I have two blue eyes." -or- "I have eyes in my head" or even better- "I have two blue eyes in my head." We have spent much time during class talking about adjectives and prepositions so they know how to use these parts of speech.
Yearbook orders went out last week. Order on line at ybpay.lifetouch.com and enter the code 4964615 OR fill out the form that went home. Checks payable to Pleasantview. Orders are due: February 13, 2015!
Reading Tip of the Week:
Be patient! When your child is trying to sound out an unfamiliar word, give him or her time to do so. Remind your child to look closely at the first letter or letters of the word. Remind them to look for letter combinations that they know (br, sh, ch, etc.)
