- ask questions when reading (who, what, when, where,why)
- practice writing (numbers, letters, etc)
- practice word families (cat, hat, bat, mat, sat, etc)
- practice your sight words (take small chunks instead of all 100 at once)

PES Intranet
Parents, we have created a PES intranet with websites students use here at school as well as sites that could be beneficial to use at home. Each grade level has a tab with grade specific sites. Simply click on the image and it will take you to the website.
WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOUR CHILD TO WORK ON LEXIA (our reading program) and Dreambox (our math program) at home. THEY LOVE THESE PROGRAMS, and they are differentiated to meet your kiddos specific needs! HAVE FUN!!!
Enjoy!
Website to PES intranet is: https://pesmorning.wixsite.com/website-1
Safety Drills
For December our severe weather drill will be on December 4 and our lockdown drill will be on December 13. Please know that these are only drills. Please help us in reassuring your student that these are only drills and there is no danger, but we must always follow directions for the safety of everyone.
