Coming up this week we have TWO P.D. Days for staff. That means there will be no school for students on Wednesday, January 29 and Friday January 31.
I have been changing up my home reading program for the second half of the year. Please send your child's home reading folder back to school every day. I am doing reading groups every day during Daily 5 and we are using those books during our groups. It is essential that your child has their books here every day otherwise I will not be able to read with them! In many of their reading folders you will find a "word ring". Please practice these words at home with your child every day.
Just a reminder about the wonderful online resource raz-kids. Each child in my class has a subscription to raz-kids and they love going on it during school. They can read and listen to online stories that are just at their reading level. If you need a reminder about their login information, just write a note in your child's agenda and I will send it home! See the side bar for the link to raz-kids!
The past couple weeks we have been learning about the "Bandit E". He is a sneaky guy that hangs out at the end of words, bops vowels on the head and makes them say their name, all the while staying super quiet (eg. cake, made). Students have been looking for bandit e's (aka silent e) in their reading. This last week we went on a "Bandit E Hunt" around the school trying to find those sneaky words. Don't mind the ghetto-ness of their masks!
