Fall Conferences

October 25 and 30 from 4 to 7 p.m. are Corse conference days. Am looking forward to meeting parents so we can share information about your child's reading. Parents, your support and encouragement is key  to helping your child become proficient in reading.

If your student comes home talking about the math game with an avatar where they learn addition and subtraction or multiplication click on this link called BigBrainz and you can find out how to download it at home. It's free. Contact me for the password.

Mensa for Kids has some games your math enthusiast might like to try like Minus Mission, Alien Addition, Demolition Division or Meteor Multiplication. Click on Mensa for the link. Try the "Games and Activities" icon.

Catch the new Link to Reading called PBS Kid's Island. Click on Stories and Reading Activities. Readers can "listen and read" along with the highlighted text.  This is a good way to build fluency.

Bruce Lansky the "king of giggle poetry" is coming to our school on November 5. Elementary schools are also hosting an author night that same evening. Watch for the flyer from school. If you'd like to take a look at his website click on his name.

We started our Book Bag Reading recently. Almost all students have signed up. Several are reading enthusiastically to get the weekly prize. Each reader's goal is to read at least three books every week. Congratulations to Alanah and Samera for attaining that goal the first week.
