AS winter break begins….a packet of graphic organizers, websites, basic sight words, editing marks, etc. for you to help your child become a better reader and writer. The packet was explained in detail at the parent meeting we had in December. Students should work on this at their own pace but on daily. They can bring it in as they complete the work to show me their progress. The websites include Math activities, too. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me through email or this blog. Thanks enjoy the break….and keep reading and writing.
