May 27 Wednesday

Good morning!! Happy Wednesday!

Please email me by 10:00AM so I can take and submit attendance.

Let’s begin our day with prayer.

Angel of God,
My guardian dear,
To whom God’s love
Commits me here,
Ever this day be at my side,
To light and guard,
To rule and guide.
Amen.

If you have any special intentions please finish with the Glory Be to the Father. (You may want to pray for people who do not have a home to live in.)

Please say the Pledge of Allegiance.

·       give them a check in both boxes

*if your child sounds out or blends the word and does it correctly

·       do not put a check in the second box (blue box)

*if your child can not read, sound out, or blend the word

This fluency check helps us know if they are having trouble with a certain sound or concept. Then we can practice anything they are having trouble with.

              #18 is reviewing _y or _igh spellings
#17 is reviewing oa or ow spellings
#16 is reviewing ea or ee spellings       
#15 is reviewing ai or ay spellings
              #14 is reviewing long vowels ē, ī, and ō spellings
               
*If your child had trouble with a section it lets us know where they need some extra practice. You can go back to the word lists or books for Lessons 14-19 and practice them when you get a chance.
