Hello Parents!
We've definitely hit the ground running this year, and there's no doubt that the leisurely days of summer are long gone! The beginning of the year is always a transition for students, for parents, and for teachers too. It won't be long, however, before the hectic rush of the first weeks of school will slow down a bit, and we'll all settle into a nice routine. (We can hope, right?!)
I have really enjoyed getting to know these students so far this year and am anticipating a wonderful year ahead. I thank you in advance for partnering with me to help your child be a successful student in English Language Arts! Please don't hesitate to call or email me if you have any questions or concerns.

Read, Read, and Read Some More...
Your student should be reading for AT LEAST 20-30 minutes every week night. Students are required to have a library or reading book with them in class every day. We will use them for lessons in class, reading conferences, literature circles, and more. The absolute best thing you can do to help your child succeed in both Language Arts and all other classes is to encourage them to read, and read often. Have them read to you, or ask them to tell you about what they are currently reading. I can't stress enough how important this is. Just like any skill, in order to improve, frequent practice is needed. Thank you so much for your help!
