Terrific Tuesday

Reading Book Bags

Starting tomorrow, your child will begin bringing home a book to read each night that she or he has chosen from their book box. I check in with everyone quickly to see their choices. Usually, students choose books they can read, knowing most of the words.

We keep a Parent Communication Sheet in the reading bag, so that if you can communicate with me to share your observations and comments. Please don’t feel the need to comment daily, just now and then, or as needed.

The reading book bags are blue. Books should come home each night and be returned the next day.

Thank you for helping us build joy and stamina around reading books!

First Grade Literacy Night

Wednesday, October 4,

6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Captain Library

First Grade is a time when we guide children to develop a love for reading. Captain's first grade students and parents are invited to a special night about reading at home with your child - Literacy Night. We will discuss just-right books, reading strategies, and introduce the take-home book bags. You might even see some super reading heroes in action!

Please see Ms. Patti at the front desk prior to get the paperwork for a background check. Our last field trip to the Magic House will happen in May, although a day has not been confirmed. I will send out an e-mail later in the year requesting volunteers to the Magic House Field trip in addition. Thank you in advance for your support.
