Make sure you view the NEW SLIDE SHOW under this post!!
We're entering our last week of school for the year 2007. Best wishes for a great winter break and please have your student's stay involved with learning during this time. Whether in the kitchen cooking, setting the table, helping with the dishes, or completing some of the work on the homework links, set aside time for them to learn, write, read and do.
I will be sending home appropriately leveled books for their reading pleasure and they still need to be 'listened' to, 'read' to and write, draw and tell about what they've read. Listening for fluency and phrasing is a helpful activity and re-reading the next day to show how they can fix-up the tricky parts is also VERY important.
Thank you for a great year and I am looking forward to seeing all the students back in January.
By the way, Happy New Year, when it arrives! I'll be off in Maryland visiting our new grandson!
