What is Title:

The goal of Title I is to provide a high-quality education for every child. The Title I program provides extra help to students who need additional help in the areas of reading and math. Title I instruction is in addition to the regular classroom instruction.
You as parents influence your child’s education. You can boost your child’s achievement in school by taking an active role in Title I. Let your child see that education is important to you not just to them.

Being parents, you know your child better than anyone else does. Feel free to share information about your child’s likes and dislikes with me or your child’s classroom teacher.

Always share a love of learning with your child.
Set a good example for your child. Let them see you reading, writing letters, and making lists.
Make learning at home just as fun as it is at school. Work on building language, reading, and math skills. You can do this by playing games and reading signs when you are driving or shopping.

Limit your child’s television time and have your child read to you or you read to them. As you are reading together, stop and discuss what is happening in the story. Make predications about what might happen next.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to the 2011-2012 school year.  I am very excited to be working at Sibley Elementary School again this year.  I look forward to seeing all your smiling faces on Tuesday, September 6th.  I hope many of you will be at the Fall Picnic, on Thursday, September 1st from 5-7 pm.
