Book Bags are coming home on Monday-Friday
Your child will be bringing home a book bag on Monday with 2 leveled books inside.
These books have a number on the back- the books are given to your child based on their reading level. Because this is the first time they are receiving leveled books, the books given to them might not be accurate. We will be bumping up levels as we see fit. A child may stay at the same reading level for a month before being bumped up. Please do not pay too much attention to the number, but more so how your child is reading.
- Are they pointing under each word as they read? Giving each word ONE tap?
- Are they using the pictures to help them figure out unknown words?
- Are they recognizing the snap words that we have learned?
- Are they recognizing the pattern of the book?
These books they bring home SHOULD be easy for your child to read to you. They have read the book multiple times in class, and to myself. They are excited to now read them to you and have you be their reading partner.
Please send the books inside the bag BACK to school on Friday!! Each Monday (sometimes on Tuesday) your child will bring home their bag with a new set of books inside! If they don't bring back their books, they won't be getting new books to bring home. Please help them be responsible and keep the bag in their backpack after they read the books to you.
Books come Home on Monday-- Return books to school on Friday!! :)
(I mentioned to some parents that I would be putting ABC charts in bookbags!- I was out on Friday so you will have those the following week!)

Family Friday Lunch
Click the Link Below to sign up to join your child for Family Friday lunch on Fridays! This is when you get to eat with your child in the cafeteria during our regular lunchtime from 10:15-10:45 am. The office is asking that this year, you sign up by noon on Thursday before so the office is able to batch print. In the past, it has seemed to be a lengthy process and they are hoping this won't take as long to get parents in the building. PLEASE make sure you do the sign up if you plan on attending lunch with your child.
