Reminder that Open House is this Thursday, September 14th from 6:00-7:30 pm. Please come in to meet the teacher, see your child’s classroom, and see how our classroom works!

Dear Snow Families,
This year each student will have a Read At Home Plan. This will include a daily book log that is sent home for students to record how many minutes read each day. The goal is for every student to read 30 minutes per day or 150 minutes per week.

The Read At Home Log will be checked by the classroom teacher and students will be responsible for filling out the log. Logs will be brought home daily. Moby Max and Myon are great resources for reading materials so should be counted in the daily reading. This expectation is for students to improve their reading skills and develop a love of reading so it is important that students choose Good Fit books. Good Fit Books are books that are not too easy or too hard.
Thank you,
Ms. Sherlock
