R.E.D. Folders!
Sight Words!
The students have been doing a great job remembering to return their RED Folders each day. Have your child return it to his/her backpack after reading each night.
Keep working on those 1st Grade sight words! Five words per week is a great goal. If you child is already reading all 100 sight words, please work on spelling and writing the sights words.
EPIC!
Upcoming Dates
I am still waiting to receive a class account for RazKids.  In the meantime, we are trying out Epic!, a free online program for teachers and students created to nurture students’ love of reading & learning.  You should have received an to connect with our class.  You can also connect for free at using our class code jlb4703 to see what your child is reading & find out how to access Epic! at home.
