Study for Spelling test tomorrow! ***On Wednesday and Thursday evenings when reading the “Get Ready” and “Main Selection” stories are assigned, you have a choice as to where to read those stories. The stories will always be available for you to read with your child in his/her green folder, but they are also available on my class website. Most of your children already know how to get to the reading story site as we use this often in our classroom. If you have Internet access, you go to Bonne Ecole’s website (http://bonneecoleelementary.stpsb.org) and click on “Faculty”. From there, scroll down to “First Grade” and click on my name. On my webpage, click on “Links” and scroll all the way down to the bottom. Click on that website link and our five Reading books will appear in a new window. We are currently in our second Reading book (but your child will probably point out the correct book before you can ask!) Once you have clicked on the correct Reading book, click on the page number for the corresponding story and you will see the same story plus the pictures that go along with it. Seeing the pictures really does help the students with reading comprehension and picture/print cues. Use if you would like!
