News You Can Use

Over the last few weeks we have been learning routines and reviewing academic 
skills.  I am currently assessing reading levels and phonemic awareness 
skills, so reading groups will begin soon.  In the meantime, please read with 
your child at home nightly for at least 20 minutes and record in their yellow 
daily folder on the blue pages located in the back.  I will begin sending 
home leveled books soon.  If you need help in selecting books or need 
resources for obtaining reading material, please see my LINKS page on my 
website.  I have links set up for online reading as well as leveled book 
finders.

Academic Information Night is coming this week - Thursday, September 17th at 
6pm.  We will be sharing first grade skills and responsiblities.  We will 
also share homework expectations.  Our first weekly homework assignment will 
be sent home this Thursday.
