Just a reminder…

Parent- Teacher Conferences are this Thursday. Your specific conference time was sent home last week.  It is very important to be on time because conferences are only 10 minutes long. You will be receiving your child’s report card at that time.  If you have any questions please e-mail or write me.  Thank you!

We are learning the words "little" and "look" next week. We are also reviewing "have".  We will be working on the letter B, labeling, and much more. Also, it looks like you will be getting a report card on the day of your conference with me! If you have not returned your conference form please do ASAP. I plan on getting your times to you this week. Also, our aid, Mrs. S,  has been granted permission by the district to stay until January 22. We are crossing our fingers that it could even be longer. She has been a wonderful addition to our classroom! Thank you for returning the Reading Practice Packet every Monday and for working with your child. This is such an important time in their life and we want to see them grow academically as much as possible.  Please e-mail me if you would like to talk to me about your child. I can call you during my planning time or after school. I have been sending home updates as I have been assessing skills. I hope you find these useful. Thank you.

Thank you!
