Hi there! Thanks
for visiting our blog! A huge SHOUT OUT to those parents who came to our Meet the
Teacher Night! We were so happy you came and hopefully it was informative! J
We have a lot of
stuff going on and we understand a lot of papers have gone home! It can be very
overwhelming! I promise that aspect will slow down soon! J
There are amazing
PARENT WORKSHOPS that will be going on all year long! If you can attend one of
these, please do! They are extremely helpful and it can be nice to get to know
other parents in your child’s grade level too. J **If you do go, please let your child’s teacher
know! There may be a reward!**
Here is a link to
the information on the PARENT WORKSHOPS!
This week we will
begin our “I-Time” this is a 50 minute block of time where students will learn
to collaborate on projects and work on skills with the teacher in a small
group. Our “I-Time” is
Monday – Thursday from
1:15 – 2:05.
Just a reminder
that homework needs to be turned in the next school day. AR is homework too!
Please encourage your child to read out loud! Reading OUT LOUD is the best way
to build the following KEY skills of reading…
-Fluency – how well & smoothly
text is read.
-Comprehension – how well they
understand the story
-Vocabulary – this builds context
clues and helps students recognize when they don’t quite “get” a word
Hearing the words,
Saying the words, and Seeing the words uses 3 of the 5 senses! The more they
read OUT LOUD the more they remember! J

homework packet!
HAVE
A WONDERFUL WEEK! J
