Busy Time

It has been very busy in our Class and I apologize for the lack of a post the last 2 weeks.
We are now beginning our Guided Reading time.  You should see a red folder coming home with a book.  The red folder will come home 1-2 times a week.  Please take time to spend with your child.  They have worked really hard at school to decode the book.  Plus the book will help with sight words that your child might be struggling to remember.
We have now been introduced to all 35 kindergarten sight words and begin working on mastery of these words.
