Sight Word Crazy

Welcome back to a brand new week!

DIBELS testing is complete and we now have a concrete starting point for every child.  Curriculum will really kick in after the Labor Day holiday.  To prepare you, I'd like to make you aware of the flash cards that will be sent home on a weekly basis.  These cards are the four weekly sight words that we will be working on in class.  Please work with your child at home with these words - the more familiar they become with them, the more fluent they will be in their reading.  Letter names and sounds are another important component as we begin our journey in reading and literacy.  Reinforcing these skills at home will make a huge difference in your child's performance.

I have sent home a volunteer sign-up sheet.  If you are interested in volunteering in the classroom or in any other capacity at the school, please let me know.  We welcome any one who wants to be a part of our busy day.

Congratulations to Nicere Wallingford, this week's Star Student.  Nicere may be quiet as a mouse, but his actions speak louder than words.  He really sets a great example in class by following directions and being on top of his game at all times.  He is truly deserving of this honor.
