New student of the month – Congratulations! Sofie Lehmbeck

This week a letter assessment and letter sound assessment went home in your child’s blue folder. The assessment gives you some feedback what letters and sounds your child needs to master. Please keep in mind, we do letter and sound strategies daily in whole group and small groups, which helps build the memory muscle of the brain. At times, I will send home additional support materials if I feel a child needs it.
