October 29 Newsletter

Thank you for all of your participation with red ribbon week! What a fun, energizing week! I will post picture this weekend!

Thank you for all of the goals, they were due today :) If you did not turn in a goal, maybe a sight word goal would be good for your child. E-mail me and I will make your child's goal to pass sight word lists 5-10. Thanks!

On Fridays the students have been using lap tops to log on to raz-kids and read books. If you would like to do that at home, go to raz-kids.com and my password is esimmons1mde. Happy Reading!

Ask Your Child About:
Reading: long a, long i, and long o sounds
Guided Reading: working on asking the students how the book they read relates to them
