Valentine's Cards

This is going to be great day for our students! Students are allowed to exchange Valentine's cards with each other. We have 27 great students in our classroom. I will send the list of names tomorrow.

 

 

With the homework tonight, I sent home two reading and one long worksheet.  I forgot to send the sight words home so you can keep the reading logs at home and turn them in on Friday or send them back daily. They will stay with them the whole week either way.

 

We have two students that have improved on the reading test --one student jumped up 15 words in two weeks and  the other jumped 8 words.

Way to go!!!!

Reading is something that can never be taken!

Reading is something that can never be taken!

This is a true statement. Reading can never be taken from you. EVER. You can lose your house, become homeless, go broke, but reading is a skill you will have for the rest of your life. A parent told me this during parent teacher conferences and also this parent is getting her masters degree from the same college I received my Masters in Education.

This is a good book-- hope you can get a chance to read it. The child does a great job reading it, the dad does a great job with him, helping only when it was the right time to do so.
