Reading Folders:
We will continue our new reading folder routine next week!  Please be sure your child is re-reading his/ her book every night.  You may see the same book two times because re-reading several times builds fluency.  Thank you for your support in this.  Our kindergarten end of the year goal is for each student to make it to a level 5.    

Snow Day:
Please see the signup on Bloomz to help collect the materials needed for this fun activity.

Reading Folders:
We will continue to bring out reading folders back and forth from home to school daily just as we did before.  The books that we will be using from here on out belong to myself, or the school and MUST BE RETURNED TO SCHOOL THE FOLLOWING DAY IN YOUR CHILD'S READING FOLDER.  If your child does not return their book the next day, they will not receive a new book.  If a school owned book is lost or damaged, the school will need to replace the book and the cost of each school book is $10.  Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this change in our routine.
