Hello Families!

Your child brought home their reading bag today! Inside the bag you will find directions and suggestions of what to do with the contents of the bag. Please work on helping your child write his/her name as well as recognizing the letters within their name.

Here is the parent note that I sent home in the bag in case you did not see it. 🙂 The reading bags and all of what is inside of them come back to school everyday. Please do not put snack or your child’s Oakman folder in the reading bag. Thanks!!!!!

Young 5 Reading Bags

Hello Families!

This is your child’s reading bag. It comes to school with them everyday. Please use it and its contents as a resource for learning at home. Please spend 20 minutes each day with your child on reading and letter recognition.

In this bag, you will find:

• A dry erase marker and a name practice sheet

• An ABC puzzle activity for letter recognition

• Books to practice recognizing letters, sight words, and concepts about print.

*Practice finding letters.

*Practice touching each word as they move left to right on the page.

*Practice reading the pictures by using the illustrations to make up a story.

*Ask your child questions about the story. (ex. What was your favorite part and why? Who are the characters? What happened in the beginning, middle, and end?)

Here are some cute pictures from today!

We are so excited to bring home our reading bags!

During math time we practiced sorting pictures into three different groups! We sorted pictures into these categories; rainy weather, summer weather, and cold weather. Then….we counted to see how many were in each group!

Thank you for all you do!

Mrs. Mehrhof
