Take Home Reading Program

Our Take Home Reading Program will begin this Friday. If you signed up, you will receive a zippered bag ( for you to keep !!). It will contain your child's book, a Response Journal and instructions. There are suggestions for how to read with your child. In grade 3 we focus on comprehension. Many children read words but that doe not necessarily mean that they really think about what they are reading. There is also a weekly schedule of activities your child can do each day.Books are returned each Friday. If your child is reading a lengthy book they may bring the book home again until finished.I will check their Response Journals for completeness and may give suggestions.

Thanks !

Thanks to everyone who has sent in school supplies, agenda money ($8), photo money ($5), replies regarding our Take Home reading program and letters regarding your children. I realize that is a long list !! I would like to wrap everything up asap, so, if you still have things to send in, please do so as soon as you can.
We had a great first week. While we are trying to ease into things, we will be picking up the pace soon.I will be calling everyone after about 2 weeks to let you know how your child is adjusting to grade 3. If you have any concerns please contact me at the school.

Our First Day

We had a great first day today! Your children have brought home a lot of reading material. Please take a moment to look at everything.There are lots of changes this year with the balanced day, new bell times and new teachers for gym, library, drama and dance. It will take us a while to get adjusted. We have a great class and when I did the "name quiz" I knew everyone's names. I did tell Kayla, Claire and Katie that I might mix them up on occasion but I will try not to !!
