Homework

1. Please read with your child every night.  This can be magazines, flyers, a home reading book, or a library book.  Your child should be reading both silently and out loud.  Comprehension is the overall goal of reading so it is important to have them discuss what they have read.  You can have them retell the story or answer who, what, where, and why questions. 

Homework books will stay at school over the weekend and be returned on Monday.

   6.    Our Library rotation is still in effect.  Please remember to check your child's library day and ensure their books are returned so that they can take out new ones.  Their library books should be returned to school in their plastic library bag.  If your child misses their library day they may go to library the following day.  Click below to access the library rotation schedule: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1InyvYSFeiC6WeTw9jfwMvuk1UDiYBKtuFLb-kn9-hbg/edit
