Guided Reading Books and Packets: Last week, I sent students home with a yellow packet titled "My Reading Packet." I suppose it would be helpful if I explained what it is all about!
Students will be taking home a new paper book roughly each week. It is so helpful to re-read these books at home, as they reinforce the skills taught in small group reading. These packets are meant as an optional way to further engage with the books and provide extra practice with sight words, comprehension, and sentence writing. If you are able, I encourage you to place the packet along with your child's growing collection of paper books and refer to it whenever you're looking for a little extra way to practice reading at home!
Library Books:
We have library time every Friday morning. Please help remind your child to return their books on Friday (or any day prior!) so they are ready to check-out books.
Snacks:
Please remember to send your child with a snack each day. We currently do not have any extras for students, however school breakfast is free of charge and a great alternative to have for those rushed mornings where packing a snack is difficult. Thank you!
Somerset Directory: Check the Somerset E-News for important information, including our Somerset school directory! It is a great resource for when trying to plan playdates, birthday parties, and other events!
