Literacy- Please read your Borrow-A-Books each night. We have  3 books this week.Two books are levelled readers and one is a paper copy sight word book, "My Red Book".The children have coloured and read this book in class.Be sure to read at least 1 or 2 of your 3 books each night. Read the ABC Letter Tracing Book, until your child knows all letters and sounds. As students read their three books, have them point to each word and stop at the period.Use the pictures for cues to help identify the words. Students should be recognizing some familiar sight words from list 1 and 2. Please remember to fill in the reading log each night and have your child print their name.Return all books, even the student coloured books to class. The children use these books in their Read-to Self book bags.Please return books in the borrow-a-book bag,on Friday.Thanks! 

Rock Star Words- Some children have brought home a sight word list. Please review your word list this week. When your child knows all words quickly. Please sign the sheet and return it to class. I will test your childs knowledge and send the next list home. Don't worry if your child does not have a word list yet. We are reviewing words daily in class and once your child consistently recognizes a few words in print, I will send a list home with them.
