Settling Into Grade 1

Hello!

Fall has arrived! The students have settled nicely into Grade 1. They did fantastic job completing their homework calendar. Thanks for all your help! 

Thank you to all the parents who made it out to Program Night. For those parents who were unable to make it please read the handouts that were sent home with your child a couple of weeks ago.

Read on! The students did a great job meeting their reading goals for the month of September. Please remember to send back the snuggle book that was sent home once your child has read it so they can exchange it for a new one. Also, please have your child return his/her red reading log folder to school at the end of each month with the log sheet so that he/she can put a sticker on the back of the folder if they meet their reading goal.

Raz Kids...The Grade 1 students have been signed up for Raz Kids, an online reading program that allows the students to read at their 'just right' reading level and move up once they're ready. Each student received a login card along with a brief note explaining how to use program. Raz Kids is an excellent reading site where students can enjoy reading and listening to books online. This program is to be used as part of their snuggle reading time. Your child may choose to read a book on Raz Kids one night and then the next night read a hard copy book. Please be sure to add these reading minutes to your child's reading log. Please note that many of the books on Raz Kids will also be books sent in the Snuggle Bags so they may read some of the books both online as well as in hard copy.   

Happy Reading!
