5.     Ten minutes (or more!) of reading every night with a parent, guardian, or older sibling, etc.  I’m sure your child would love to read the book in his or her small manila folder to you!  Sight words are fun to read together, too.  Reading together every night is VERY important.  Let’s work together to develop a love of books and reading in our children!

School library books are due every Wednesday.

 

Thank you for checking your child’s take-home/homework folder every night and making sure it gets back to school every day.  Please remember to keep the papers in the right-hand pocket at home.
