A Few Reminders/Updates

Hi everyone!
I can't believe vacation is almost over. I just wanted to jot down a few things.

1. Your children were given new pencil boxes from me for their holiday present. They were asked to replenish anything needed and put their supplies in the NEW boxes and bring back to school. Please be sure to pack those for your children! :)

2. New sight words are coming home Monday with a new sight word list. Only three words are coming home this week. I am noticing some children are skipping pages and therefore the book is almost filled up already. Please try not to skip pages. The new list can be cut out and glued to the NEXT CLEAN PAGE in the book.

3.  We are starting a new unit in Reader's Workshop. Students will be learning about reading nonfiction. Books that come home in book baggies will be nonfiction books. (Bags come home on Friday.)


Thank you!
