Reading to and with your child« Please stress the importance of DAILY reading
« MINIMUM of 20 minutes a night of level appropriate books (harder does NOT mean better!) This reading is not viewed as homework because reading is something that we should do every day!
« If parents don’t have level appropriate books at home please try to visit the public or school library.
« Reading Logs will be used and should be recorded on daily. It is important that you sign the reading logs or they will not be counted / accepted. This is mandatory throughout the school & considered a part of reading homework in my class.
Agendas« Please look at them daily.
« Sign even when empty and put them directly in their backpacks.
« If they are not signed/initialed and returned daily, your child may miss other special privileges for that day.
« If there is anything that you’d like to communicate with me, the agenda is the perfect place to do this! I check it DAILY!
Work brought home« YOU are responsible for looking in their backpacks every day.
« Please have your child empty backpacks & communication folders on a regular basis
