Homework

Homework

Bookbags will go home with your child everyday except Friday.  Please practice the word ring and book that are inside.  Make sure to put them back in the bag for the following day.

Homework:

• Continue to practice reading books and sight words in book bags every weeknight (I am beginning to meet with the students individually to assess their learning. Therefore, I will only meet with reading groups once each week to give them new books.)
• Continue to use Lexia on a regular basis (preferably 15 minutes each weeknight)
