Parents,

For the past two weeks in class we have been discussing “good fit” books. We have talked about how to pick out books from our classroom library that are a good fit for each child. What is the purpose for reading the book? Does your child have an interest in the book? Can your child comprehend and understand what they are reading? Do they know most of the words? We even have a song we sing about it! With that said, today was the first day your child was able to pick a book from their book box to bring home to read for homework. Please be patient with your child and with me as we are still working on picking the right books to read. Very soon we will begin our small reading groups and you will see different books coming home then, too.

Tomorrow night is Parent Orientation. It will be in our classroom from 6:00-7:00. I hope to see each of you. There will be some great information about how our classroom works and what your child is doing daily.

New spelling words came home in the planner today. Please be studying these words every night. We will have our first spelling test Friday morning. The spelling words this week are: into, has, more, her, two, they, there, many, to, other.

I hope you have a fabulous evening! 🙂
