The above words have meanings that are part of every day things that we will be working on all of this week. I encourage you to print off the list and once a night at least to go over them with your child. You can ask them to use the words in a sentence and also tell you the meaning of them. By going over the words multiple times and connecting them will real events during the week there will be a great possibility of recall.

For the homework Packet this week I will be sending home reading logs and a book. When the book is finished send it back and I will send another home. Students at this age try to hide that they may not know a word. They will guess, skip over the word or substitute something else for it! That is why I encourage you to let you child read to you! Watch the words they read or they may be so good at hiding their difficulty in reading that you will not know that a word or even an entire sentence might have been skipped! On Friday send the reading log in so that I can see how much has been read. I ask for at least fifteen minutes a night to be read.

The bowling will need your permission slip and $6.00 sent in so that everything can be ready for Thursday. Please go ahead and send it in on Tuesday so that we can know everyone will be able to go!

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

What makes this blog worth your time?

"Providing Opportunities" is a blog that will be worth your while to browse at least once a week for ideas that might work for you as you seek to better the world for the youth of t0day. As you check this blog you will find out information about this class that will inspire you, inform you and may give you ideas. This blog will be different in that if ideas are given as as a post and they seem to warrant letting others know about them then they will be posted with credit given for the source. Stephen Covey the famous author stressed the idea of "synergy" and those accomplishing more together than working seperately. This blog can accomplish synergy which provides a resource which Dr. Harry Wong states is the best way for any teacher to learn which is to "steal ideas" from other teachers and use them. "Providing Opportunities" can only work if others will submit their ideas that they have either used or seen used that worked.
