Book Buddy Bags & RAZ Kids
We have started guided reading and I am sure you have seen the Book Buddy bag come home! The kids have been so excited to take them home and read it to their families! I meet with each group four times a week. During our group time we usually work within a book for two days reading it, doing word work and practicing writing. It is okay if the same book comes home a few times during the week. Sometimes, your child may choose to take home the same book as well! Rereading is a great way to build fluency and word recognition!
Last week I sent home a login code for the RAZ Kids website/app. This is another great resource for practicing reading with leveled books. If your child has read the guided reading book a few times and is looking for a different book, he/she can log on and read! You can also log on to the Scholastic Storia for leveled books too! If you need me to send home the login information for Storia, let me know and I will get it to you!
Winter is Coming!!
I loved the excitement of the first snow of the season Friday brought in! We kept peeking out the window and admiring the beautiful flakes. I did hear a rumor that Elsa may have had something to do with it! With the snow also comes the cold weather. Please practice putting on and taking off winter apparel. This would include: putting on and tying shoes, zipping coats and putting on gloves! THANK YOU! It will be a big help when arriving and dismissing from school!
Since we do not have recess, it is not necessary to wear snow pants every day. However, depending on the temperature outside, we will try to go out for Friday Fun. If we go out, students will need snow pants, boots, and gloves to play in the snow!
