Hey!  Happy November!  This week we will be reading The Big Circle.  Please read this with your child.  Here is the NEWSLETTER for this week. Pumpkin pictures coming soon!! : )

It is important that students start to hear when what they are reading doesn't make sense.  Try to wait to correct your child until they have read the entire sentence then ask...Did that sound right? Look right? Make sense? 

Thanks to those who were able to make it to conferences tonight.  Communication between teacher and parent is key.
