• Your home is your child's first and most important classroom. Your child will be more successful in MY classroom if you provide the following items of support in YOUR classroom:

• Pencils, paper, crayons, scissors, glue, beans (or similar items) to use as counters, coins to practice counting, ruler (inch and centimeter), and a clock with an hour and minute hand.

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
~Margaret Fuller

READ, READ, READ!!

• Reading with your son or daughter is a great way to spend time together. You can both take turns reading and spend time talking about the stories that you read. This is possible during their Reading at Home (RAH) time. Each student will be responsible for reading for fifteen minutes every night. A RAH record sheet will be sent home every week for your child to write down the stories he or she reads each night. The record sheet will be collected every Friday. The record sheet must be signed by a parent or guardian.The students are permitted to read books, magazines, websites, comics, etc. RAH is a great way to make time to read together.
