A Little Behind

As you may have noticed, I did not post anything from two weeks ago. I am a little behind. We have had several illnesses at our home that have kept me away from the computer. Before another week slips by, I want to fill you in on last week.

The children continue to do well, but I have a concern. Please make sure you go over the high frequency and sight words with your children. During a writing activity many of the children did not recognize simple sight words. Learning these words provides your child with the confidence they need to become strong readers.

The children had a lot of fun with a new creative writing activity. I made a doodle in their creative writing book that they had to turn into a picture. Then each child had to write two sentences that would tell a story about their picture. Many students were so excited that they asked for another doodle so they could write another story. It was great to see their creativity and enthusiasm.

Looking forward to seeing you this Wednesday. The following week is Fall Break!
