Take Note:
ALL LIBRARY BOOKS SHOULD BE RETURNED TO LIBRARY OR PAID FOR
The library is closed for the summer, missing books and unpaid fines will prevent your student from receiving their yearbook.
Are you reading every day?
Our students are working so hard on their letter names and sounds as well as blending those sounds together into words. One way we can continue to support this skill is by reading 15 minutes every night. This includes:
-
Doing the daily section of our homework
-
Letter/sound flashcards
-
Practicing high frequency words or blending non-sense words
-
Reading phonics books.
You can access our reading program online for a small subscription fee. Currently, you can get the first 3 months free with code 30FREE. They have amazing books for our students to read online or you can purchase the actual books to read at home. Please go to iseesam.com and click on "Digital Subscription Edition". We recommend starting at Set 1. If that seems too easy for your student, we are happy to do a placement assessment to see where they should get started - just send your crew teacher an email. We also have a few copies in our classroom you can borrow on an as needed basis. Thanks!

Summer's Here
Summer's here!
Another year of school is at an end.
We've learned a lot and grown a lot
and made a lot of friends.
We'll say goodbye,
now summer's here,
it's time for us to part.
But we'll remember all our friends
and keep them in our hearts.
-Helen H. Moore
