Dear
Parents,
Thank you for visiting our classroom for
our Portfolio Parties this past week! It was encouraging to see that you all
had been setting goals throughout the year with your child. I could already see
a difference in our classroom as I met with each of you and your child. We have
worked very hard this year and the children are looking forward to reaching
their different goals.
Thank you so much to those of you who
donated books to our classroom from the Book Fair! We received many books to
add to our classroom library. Your generosity has been incredible this year!
I also want to thank Luci Phillips for
graciously offering to dye easter eggs with the children for Fun Friday this
past week. The children had a BLAST dying their eggs!
Here’s a look into the curriculum this
week:
Reading:
Rereading texts to
practice gaining fluency and to monitor understanding.
