Home Reading Begins!

Happy Tuesday!

Please check your child's backpack for their Home Reading Folder (Yellow) and their purple Field Trip notice.

Home Reading:

All log on information is located in the yellow folder sent home today and the students have had a chance to see how the program works.

Students should read and answer the questions to one book, every day.  Please ensure that they read the book and not only listen to it.

Please note that I have started the students at "A" level books.  Please let me know if this is too easy and I will increase their level.  Although you are there with your child, they should be able to read the book independently to move to the next level.

Field Trip:

Please see the purple form in your child's backpack. It contains information regarding our upcoming field trip. Official forms will be sent home at the end of the week.

Students have now practiced and should be able to recognize the following Power Words:

Today we talked about recycling and the importance of recycling plastic disposable water bottles.  We looked at the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch."  We then walked around the school to view the new water fountains which record the amount of water bottles saved by refilling their water bottles:
