Side Notes

*We are also beginning our sight word lists Monday. The goal is to complete one list every 1-2 weeks. To pass the list students should be able to read the sight word within 3-5 seconds. Again in the beginning this may take longer to finish a list and that is okay. Here are a few examples of how you can practice

-flash cards

-write them on white boards

-find them in books

-make them with play dough

-read our little readers that are sent home, or find some online (mostly made of sight words)

*If you have not signed your child’s internet permission slip sent home on Thursday, please do so this weekend. Students get to use our I-pads to read stories, play reading games (hooked on phonics), and to play math games. In kindergarten students will not be online unless with an adult.

Special dates

9/21- Give 24. Our PTL has set up this giving event with Give 24. I am personally excited about this as it will help with our back play ground area, which includes resurfacing the blacktop and leveling the playing field.

10/11-Picture Day!
