Today I sent home reading logs for the month of the September. Our goal for this month is to read 15 days. In order for these to be meaningful, we NEED parental support. Please monitor your child's reading at home by providing a quiet environment for your child when possible and asking them questions about what they are reading. If you show that it's, it will make a word of difference for your child. We don't want students to watch the clock. Instead, we want them to enjoy what they are reading or what you are reading to them in younger grades. Therefore, we are not necessarily requiring a certain number of minutes, but we would expect students to read what they are capable of reading. Each day your child reads, please record an approximate amount of time read and initial for that day. I trust you as parents to only initial when you know your child has a made a good effort to read.
Every week, we will have an opportunity to choose books from the library. Book orders will be sent home periodically and the bookmobile will be at the school the second Wednesday of each month so there are many opportunities for you child to find books they like.
Your child brings home a planner every day with some of what we do every day, please check them and initial and send them back with your students. Any questions, please let me know.
