Reminders to Parents:

Reading Logs: We have placed new reading logs in homework folders. Please keep them in the folders, do not remove them. Many parents are reading to Kindergarteners and documenting it in the reading log. Please continue to read with and to your child every day. It makes a difference in their literacy and fluency.

Kdg. Sight Word List: The Kdg. sight word list was handed out during Parent/Teacher Conferences. Students will soon have flash cards on a ring to practice memorizing at home. Please be sure to review the sight words list throughout the school year.

Thanksgiving Break/H.W.: During Thanksgiving break Kdg. will bring home Math H.W. & Poetry Binders. Please make sure the Math H.W. books are returned to school.
