       Home-School Projects – Class Books

The students did a wonderful job researching their artic animals.  We are looking forward to working in small groups writing a class book for each arctic animal we have researched.  In addition, we are creating an arctic display in our classroom.

           Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent teacher conferences are this month Wednesday March 14th from 6 to 8:15 and Thursday March 15th from 4 – 6:15.  A notice has been sent home in your child’s folder.  Please review the information and return the form in their folder if you are planning to attend a conference.  I will try to accommodate your request on a first come first serve basis.

                 Reading Bags After Conferences

As we will be discussing your child’s reading level during conferences, students will begin to take home reading bags with levelled books to be read at home.  The first bag will be sent home with the parent after conferences.   Some bags will include student made flash cards to help them master sight words.  If flash cards are included review these words before reading the book.  These will be books your child has read at school and are being sent home for repeated readings.  Fluency is developed by reading familiar stories.  These books will change as they master a book and are exposed to a new text in school.  Included in the bag is a small sticker chart, simply initial a square for each night the book is read our goal is to change them weekly.  Simply return the bag to the red communication folder each day.  I appreciate your support from home.
