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.
