--------------------------------------
What does my child need to bring to school each day?
Please send your child to school each day with his/her backpack, B.E.E.
Binder, and library book. The reading folder inside the binder has a reading
log to complete daily, and you need to initial the calendar each night, as
well.
--------------------------------------
How can I help my child become a better reader?
Read with your child every day, for at least 20 minutes. Practice reading,
writing, and finding sight words in familiar books.
--------------------------------------
How can I help my child become a better writer?
Keep a writing journal at home. It can be as fancy as you'd like, or as
simple as sheets of plain paper stapled together. Encourage your child to
write every day about a small moment that occurred in his/her day. Praise
your child's attempts at sounding out words, and encourage him/her to
stretch out the words to hear every sound.
--------------------------------------
How can I help my child with math?
Read the book sent home at Back to School Night for specific strategies and
tips. Make snack time or play time a counting adventure. Count the number
of crackers and make simple addition sentences. Use small cars or building
blocks for counting activities. Email me for more suggestions.
--------------------------------------
What if my child needs to ride another bus home?
Please send in a dated note explaining which bus your child is to ride, the
location of his/her stop, and who will be meeting your child at the bus
stop. You can send it in your child's daily folder, or email it to me
before 9 a.m. the day of the change.
