Announcements:

 The fourth quarter starts on Monday, April 28th.  Please continue to encourage your children to do their best.

PLEASE check your child's folder for conference schedules.  

Reading tips:

*It is never too early to encourage reading. Read to your children on a daily basis. Most children love having a bedtime story read to them by their favorite people - parents!

*Develop a home library - children love to read books over and over.

*Allow your children to express their interests in the selection of books they read.

*Establish regular times for reading. Turn the TV and radio off when you share books.

*Read aloud to your children and don't be afraid to ham it up as you read! Vary the volume, speed, and pitch of your voice according to the storyline.

***Enjoy the time with your child.

Homework:

Please check planners for nightly homework. The word study homework is on the inside cover of each student's folder.
