Homework Update
There will be no homework this week! Enjoy reading holiday books, watching a holiday movie, looking at Christmas lights, baking, shopping, wrapping, or whatever it is you want to do together this week. We know you are busy! Have fun!!!
Instead of sending a book home with your child over the winter break, we would like for you to use the Raz-Kids reading program. You can access this from your computer or iPad. The books that your child can access are set to his/her reading level, and it offers multiple books that can be read for practice. Your child's teacher will re-send the instructions for using the Raz-Kids program if necessary. If you do not have access to a computer or iPad, please let us know, and we will be happy to send a basal reader for reading practice over the break. We appreciate your help and support! It is very important that your child continue to practice reading over the winter break.
