Comprehension Homework

Good Afternoon!!!

Please help your child remember to read their story for the week to you!  This story can be read together with your kiddo.  As they are reading try asking them about the Characters and where the story takes place.  Also, we began talking about what it means to "Check for Understanding"!  As they read, they need to ask themselves, "Do I know what I just read?"  See if they can answer who and what.  After they have read their story, please sign the slip and return back to school along with their textbook. 

I think we are all feeling the tiredness of being back to school.  Thank you for all your patience as we get used to our routine. 

Have a GREAT EVENING!

WE MADE IT!!!

Wow!  What a great week!  We made it through to the weekend.  We were all pretty tired this afternoon.  I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know all your precious kids.  We had a great time with the All About Me bags today!  We have A LOT of baseball players, hunters, fishermen/women and lots of other things in common as well.  They ALL have such wonderful personalities.  Thank you for sharing them with me everyday!
