We love our volunteers! I do, however, like for you to send a note before you come to help in the classroom. This way, I can have something ready for you to help with, or children assigned for you to read with.Back to Top
Are there specific times to come and conference?
I will be glad to conference with you any day during our PE time (12:40-1:25) or after school. If you need to speak with me, please send a note and we can schedule a day and time to discuss your concerns. Unfortunately, there isn't time to conference in the pick-up line. If you need to give me information, you are welcome to come see me after the children have been picked up.Back to Top
How much time should my child be reading?
Children in first grade should be reading both silently and aloud at home each day. Thirty minutes of silent and oral reading will help your child become a fluent reader. Encourage children to read fiction and non-fiction text. Always discuss the information read and ask the child to retell the information or events in a story. That way you know whether or not they understand. Praise your child often, and tell them about books and articles you are reading, or read when you were a child. Model reading when possible. Take turns reading aloud with your child. They will want to emulate your phrasing and expression. Most of all, show that reading is fun and is a necessary life skill.Back to Top
