Recent Assessment: 

Last week I conducted a letter name, letter sound, and star word assessment in order to see where students were in their retention of the words and letters I have introduced this year. To assist students, I prepared worksheets for each child that includes only the words that they need to practice reading and writing. These worksheets will be used in the classroom, but I will also send a sheet home that you can use to practice. You are welcome to keep the worksheet, or you can send it back to school once it is completed and I will give it a nice sticker!

Party Parents:

I would like to say thank you to our party parents for October and November. We have had two successful parties because of your support and participation in these events! 

Thank you!

Holiday Fair:
