Leveled Books Coming Home on Mondays- RETURN ON FRIDAYS!!
PLEASE PLEASE try and help your child remember to return their leveled bag of books to school every Friday. I try and get them all ready to send home on Monday and when I am missing a bunch it really slows down my system and makes things more complicated.
These books go home every Monday and should be returned every Friday. Please take and read them a few nights a week with your child. They love reading them with me in class and I know that they would love to show off their reading to you too!!
Word Part Power- We've used our skills as word scientists to create and take apart words using Word-Part Power! The kids have done a great job manipulating the letters to make new words all on their own. Doing practice like this helps us with rhyming words
