Ebert Crew
2016-2017
Dear UMAC Parents,
It is very important to me that communication be a vital component in your
child’s learning experience. Please feel free to call me before or after school at
815-444-4071 or email me at aebert@d47.org. Please be cautious NOT to use email for any before or after school arrangements, lunch money, or any information to be communicated to your child during the school day. Due to the structure of our school day, I will typically not have the opportunity to check email during the day.
Thank you so much for all your help making the start to the school year run smoothly!

WEB & WEB calendars
Students brought home their WEB reading calendar last week. We spent time discussing daily reading expectations and accountability. All UMAC students should be reading at least 20 minutes every day. Please remind your child to record number of minutes read in his/her calendar. These calendars will be collected at the end of each month. WEB Calendars are due for the first time on Thursday! My goal for WEB is that students are reading... ANYTHING! I encourage my readers to select books that they love to read, therefore I do not require them to read certain genres. I will expose them to a variety of genres during shared and guided reading lessons.
Students will be asked to talk about their WEB reading books with parent volunteers. Our parent volunteers will come in weekly to lead book discussions/conferences with our readers. WEB conferencing volunteers will meet with the same group of students each week and develop a wonderful "reading relationship" throughout the school year. If you are interested in becoming a WEB volunteer there will be a letter sent home this week!
