Please let me know if you would be interested in coming and listening to students read one-on-one.  Thank you so much for all you do!!!

Sight Words/Reading

Please keep practicing sight words with your child every night. It makes a huge difference when they recognize those words by sight.  Keep reading with them at home every night.  They can read their book to you and you can read to them.  We would like to be at a C/D reading level by the end of the year.  This couldnt be possible without you guys helping them every night.  Please let me know if you have questions or need anything.  Thanks! 

Fun Night Money

YEAH! We had 100% of families in our class send money in for fun night prizes.  Our class has won a pizza party! I will send home a note of when the party will take place.  Thanks so much for making this possible!  I know the students will be SUPER excited. PARENTS ROCK!
