Reading Bags/DRA
You may have noticed that I collected your student's Reading Bag before break. This has been due to DRAs (Developmental Reading Assessment) I have been doing individually with students. I will be finishing up this week(hopefully) in order to give you this information on report cards, so NEXT week we should be back to normal and bags will be sent home again :) . Continue having your child read Good Fit books to you. Raz-Kids(let me know if you need a login reminder) and Epic(email was sent this weekend if interested) are great options in addition to the Library and books at home. Have your student make sure a book is a good fit with the 5 Finger Test!
Flashlight Friday
Starting this Friday, EVERY Friday will be Flashlight Friday! Yes, we will be using flashlights throughout the day every Friday! We will have the lights turned down to get cozy during reading, writing, and math while using a flashlight:) I invite students to bring in flashlights to school on Friday morning and they will come home with your student every Friday as well. Please make sure to label your student's flashlight so they get home safely. (they may keep these in their backpack but they may NOT keep them in the classroom).
