Mrs. Lee's Weekly Update
News for the Week of September 5, 2012
Scholastic Book Order
A Scholastic book order is in your child's folder today. This is a way for you build your child's library at home at a great price. Also, with each order, we receive free books for our classroom. If you would like to order books for your child, please return the order form and a check made payable to Scholastic by Thursday, September 13. I cannot accept cash for book orders.
Guided Reading
Please take time each night to listen to your child read his/her guided reading book. It will take a week or two for me to get everyone on the best level, so please write comments in the guided reading folder as to how your child does with the book at home. Also, please help your child practice reading and writing the sight words listed in the folder and on the word ring. There is a sheet in the guided reading folder that gives you ideas of ways to help your child practice these words.
