Sight words that we are working on. . .

Children should be able to say these words quickly and begin to spell them correctly.

Getting back on track!

So glad to hear that everyone survived the storm with little damage.  It was a long week for all.  I really missed the children and I am sure that you missed sending them to Kindergarten!

We have been very busy trying to get back on track.  We are finishing assessments and getting ready for report cards and conferences.  This is an exciting time when we can sit down, one on one and talk about how wonderful your children are.  They are all working very hard and we are giving them the best support that we can when things don't come as easy.  I am really proud of them each day and they have grown so much!

We are still going to finish our author's study on Doreen Cronin and end it by reading Duck for President and having an election!

What can you do at home?

- Read each night - make it part of your bedtime routine.  Sign the calender in your child's folder.
-Have them practice any activities in their reading bags.  They are very proud of their special reading bags.  Encourage them to show it off when relatives come to visit.
-Ask them about things that get sent home.  Who helped them?  Did they find it easy?  Can they read you the words or the numbers on the paper?
-We switched station partners.  Ask them about their new partner and what they do in stations.

Looking forward to seeing you all in the next few weeks.
