News and Information
Swimming is Coming- February 19th- March 3rd Each child will need a swimsuit and towel daily. One piece suits for girls please! More info to come as the date nears.
Thank you to all the families who helped with our Christmas party. We had a fantastic time!
Reading
We continued our unit on making connections and inferences. To make an inference means that you are "reading between the lines" in a piece of text. You use evidence from the text and what you already know to determine what the author did not write in words. This is a difficult skill, but a necessary one as we look toward ISTEP.
Reading Homework: Practice the sight words and fluency passage being sent home today. Return the fluency passage for 5 points towards your child's reading grade.
