Important Information
-The district is in the process of setting up Compass Learning, Raz-Kids, and Dreambox. When it’s available I will let you know.
-The ipad covers have arrived and we should start using our ipads during the week.
-Please sign up to receive SSF’s weekly flyers. Go to: http://sbsd.schoolwires.net/Page/1127 to sign up.
-Monday, 2 books in a clear, plastic envelope went home:
*These envelopes need to go back and fourth from school to home EVERY night!
*New books will come home each night unless the plastic envelope wasn’t returned that day.
*Remember, these books have been read several times at school and should be easy. I want to build their confidence, fluency and learn to LOVE reading.
*If your child has an H leveled book or higher & it has AR written inside the front cover, they will be taking an AR test on this book. Make sure they read it a few times, then they need to tell me they are ready to take the test. A printout will go home telling you how they did.
*If they don't bring back the envelope they will not take new books home that day. If they loose a book, it costs $10.00 to replace.
*Last week the children started support classes. They went to Media Center, PE, Art and Music. I still need a volunteer to help out in Media Center (Mondays @1:10pm) and Art on Fridays at 11:30 am.
Sincerely,
Sharon
