Happy Holidays!

Wishing your family a happy holiday season.  I have sent many activities home with students for them to work on during our break.  Just a few reminders....

Book Bags:
After your child has read the books in their bag, please send them back and I will resend a new bag home with your child. These books can be read many times at home.  To become a better reader, we really need to pratice reading.

Fry words:
If you need a list of words, please let me know.  I have some wonderful booklets that all 1st graders are working on to earn a prize!  Keep working on those words. 

Please take the time to enjoy each other this during this holiday break.  Some of the best ways for students to learn is by playing games.  Some of my family's favorites....checkers, yahtzee, and scrabble.
