The students will the NWEA test on Monday. Please make sure they are getting to bed early enough and well-rested. Breakfast is served at school from 8:00-8:30 a.m. If they are late, they can get a snack in a bag and eat it in class. Class starts promptly at 8:35 a.m. Please make sure your child is arriving at school on time.

This blog will be a place where I keep you updated on classroom happenings, links that are safe and good for your child to use to enhance their education, and pictures of classroom activities. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you and let’s have a great year!

Read together!

Children who read at home with their parents perform better in school. Show your kids how much you value reading by keeping good books, magazine, and newspapers in the house. Let them see you read. Take them on trips to the library and encourage them to get library cards. Let children read to you, and talk about the books. Ask them questions about the book. For example, What was the book about? Why did a character act that way? What will he or she do next? What is your favorite part of the story? Why? Is this story fiction or non-fiction? Why?

It is very important to look for other ways to teach children the magic of language, words, and stories. Tell stories to your children about their families and their culture. Point out words to children wherever you go — to the grocery, to the pharmacy, to the gas station. Encourage your children to write notes and letters to their grandparents, friends, and relatives.
