    As we approach the holiday season, everyone gets busy and starts rushing around to get things done. But remember, as we miss days out of school for the holidays, your child also misses days of reading practice.  Please don't let your child lose ground over the holidays. Please have them read regularly.  It would be the perfect time to get Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, and Uncle in on the act and let them listen to your child read.  It would also be a good time to read new things like recipes or Christmas cards.  It is also a great time to practice writing skills by letters to Santa or thank you cards to family members.  Just remember skills not used fall behind over the break, so just keep reading.


    If you are looking for gift ideas for your child, check out gifts for your reader. If you have found anything not on that list that your reader enjoys, please let me know and I will include it for the future.
    Happy Holidays,
    Miss Pappas

    School is swinging into gear, and all the students have been busy learning new routines, meeting new friends, and learning new things.
    Students are also busy taking those beginning of the year reading and math tests.  Once those are completed, students that qualify for the PASSPORT program will be bringing home a letter.  Keep an eye out for those in your child's back pack, and if you have any questions, email Miss Pappas. :o)

    The first week of Summer Reading Academy is already over!  If you weren't there, you missed sequence races, fly swatting sight words, rewriting traditional stories, crazy MadLibs, and some fabulous acting.
    Next week we be investigating the interesting world of poetry and tongue twisters.  So start moving your mouth around so it doesn't get tied and twisted.
     Miss Pappas
    P.S. if you come to Summer Reading Academy, write me back and tell me what parts you've enjoyed.

    The end of the school year rapidly approaches, but that doesn't mean that it is time to stop reading.  If you check out "Links," "Fun Reading Extensions," and "10 Ways Busy Parents" you will find lots of way to keep your child reading all summer long. 
       Also, don't forget to check out your neighborhood.  The OKC metro library system offers free library cards for all kids in OK county or in an OK county school (like Rose Union) and has a reading program every summer with lots of great prizes.  There are often bookstores, movie theatres, etc. that also provide fun little extras for readers. 
    If you are a parent of a 3rd grader, be on the lookout for information regarding Summer Reading Academy here in Deer Creek.  It is by invitation only and will be Monday- Thursday, 8:30-11:30, June 15th- July 9th.  If your child has been to Reading Round Up, it is like that, but on a larger scale.  We have lots of fun with puppets, games, computer activities, writing stories etc. And Miss Pappas will be there too.
    I hope everyone has a great and safe summer.  Just remember to KEEP READING!!!

    Another new feature of the PASSPORT Page is Fun Extension Activies (see home page) as your child is reading a book in PASSPORT class, we will include activities that you can do with your child at home.  This allows your child to have new experiences and extend their comprehension of the book.  Just don't make too big of a mess... Miss Pappas
