Please have your child read
for a minimum of 10-15 minutes per night. This can be a paper book

the book, and then complete the comprehension quiz (independently). Remember
to allow your child time when solving unknown words. Encourage them
to use single and double graphemes, think about what would make sense, use the
picture clues, and skip the word and continue reading to solve the word.

& Show. This week will be sharing letter Z and any
other letters students haven’t shared yet. Please allow your child to
complete this work independently. Thank
you to those of you who have been doing this already. If you are
concerned we will not be able to read your child’s writing please just scribe
underneath what they have written.

are blue forms in your child’s purple folder that need to be signed and
returned to school as soon as possible for our May 14th Fieldtrip
to Bowmont Park. Parent Volunteers will also need to fill out a form, which we
will send with your child.
2. Volunteering: We
now have enough volunteers for our Bowmont Park and Heritage Park
fieldtrips. However, both classes still require volunteers
for our Birdhouse Building (June 8th-12:30 -3:00 at
the school). If you are interested in volunteering and have completed/will be
completing your Police Clearance please email your child’s teacher.
3. Canceling “Fun Lunch”: Our
May 14th field trip will be on a “fun lunch” day. It is
recommended that you cancel your child’s fun lunch. If you are unable to
cancel the lunch, it will be kept in the fridge and given to your child at the
end of the day. To cancel see below:
All Orders can be canceled or
deleted as long as it is before the 5 day cut-off. Go to the "My
orders" tab and select "My Up-Coming Orders". You will see all
of your up-coming orders with a "Delete" button to the right. When
you delete an order your refund will be automatically sent to your method of
payment. It will show on your Credit Card or bank account within 24-48 hours.
