Reading
We have spent a good deal of time discussing how to pick a " just right" reading book. Your child should always have a book at his/her reading level. The children have learned that if there are more than five words on a page that he/she can't read than the book is a bit too challenging for him/her.
The children have been conferencing with a parent volunteer each week. They have been showing off their knowledge of their comprehension skills by sharing a skill as they discuss their book. The students are working towards completing an entire comprehension sheet with our parent volunteer. Each child will earn a reward upon completion of a sheet. We are keeping track of the information here at school. If you would like to support your child with this, be sure to discuss their nightly reading. Hopefully, they are excited about their books.
** This is a short week of school so we plan to have our spelling test next Tuesday October 17.
** Tomorrow I'll send home a reminder for your parent teacher conference. If this time doesn't work for you feel free to send me an email and I'm sure we can find a date and time that will work for you.
** Next week will be a short week too due to parent teacher conferences on Friday.
