We continue to work with the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make.

Reader’s Workshop is off to a great start! We are talking about what great readers look like.

Please work on a book box for your child so they have a special place to keep their books. Practicing to read these books will build up sight words and help build confidence.

DAILY REMINDERS – Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 8th, we will have Center Parents (CP). Thank you to all who have volunteered. Centers are 10:00 – 11:00. We ask that you come a little early for some minimal instruction!! Each CP will be working with a small group of 5 children. YOUR child may not be in the group you are working with, but you will interact with them. Thank you for your understanding in this. We would love to have CP’s Monday thru Thursday mornings. Sign on thru Shutterfly.

Story parent (SP) will be on Friday afternoons from 12:45 – 1:15.
