Weekly Learning Goals - Q2W1

PARENTS
- Please read "Jack's Tale" and "The Giant's Tale" every evening with your child and ask them comprehension questions. Discuss vocabulary words you may see in the text.
- Please work on spelling menu/homework as it helps dramatically for your child to master their spelling words. I have noticed that those who haven't completed their homework, haven't done as well, while those who have -- have done extremely well.
