Nightly Readers & Sight Words

 

Please continue to work with your child nightly on reading their weekly readers. These readers contain a lot of the sight words that your child will be learning this year. Your child will be learning a hundred total sight words and these readers truly assist your child in recognizing them.  Record their nightly reading in the reading log. This way I know that your child is working diligently on this. Starting the second nine weeks, your child will have to start reading these weekly books independently to me on Fridays without any pictorial support. 

Thank you for all that you do!

Book Fair

Tomorrow is the book fair. Please send money in their binder. If you have not signed your child's permission slip, then your child will not be able to go even if he or she has money.

Pep Rally

We will be having a pep rally on our campus! The pep rally will be on October 2nd. The kids are very excited and so am I! Feel free to dress your child in their bulldog best. 

Progress Reports

Progress Reports went home today. Please sign them and return tomorrow. I am sorry for the delay, but I was out sick with strep throat Monday and Tuesday. I was at a training session yesterday, so I was unable to place them in their folders.

Plaidypus Lost

Our book for this upcoming week is called Plaidypus Lost. It is the story of a beloved platypus stuffed animal that becomes lost on a day long trip filled with shopping, swimming, and much more. It is a wonderful story and the kids love reading it. For one of our centers this week, the kids will create their own platypus. They can decorate it in any way! I think their platypus will come out pretty cute.

Grandparents' Day

 

Don't forget!! Grandparents' Day Breakfast is September 11, 2015. Come join us for a morning filled with food, fun, and laughter. Hope to see you there!
