Midweek Check-In...

We made it through our Wednesday! The kids did an amazing job with our safety drills today. Be sure to talk to your child about today's events and have them tell you what they learned. We learned about being TRUSTWORTHY and also learned about R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Have your child tell you about these two very important character traits. Check their understanding to see if they can give you an example of each trait. Did your child tell you that they have FINALLY brought home their R.E.D. folder??? Yippee! R.E.D. ("Read Every Day") folders are finally making their appearance in tonight's backpack. These are the daily reading folders that were discussed at Parent Involvement night. Thank you so much for your patience while I have been working at individually reading and working with each kiddo to get them started in the right place for them. Remember, when your child feels confident with their book and are ready to read it at school, send it back and they will read it with an adult here at school. Once they read it with fluency they will earn a sticker on the story and get a new book to take home. These RED folders will be used and checked all year. Thank you for setting aside a few minutes each night to listen to your child read and strengthen their developing decoding and fluency skills! Finally, DON'T FORGET! Tomorrow (Thursday) is PICTURE DAY! Be sure to have your child bring their best smile to school and if you would like to order pictures, please return the slips that were sent home last week. Thank you so much for your amazing kids! Enjoy your night together.
