*****************************************************

MORNING DROP OFF

Parents, morning drop off for car riders is only in the front circle, car pool lane. Please do NOT drop your students off in the bus port area.  This creates a traffic hazard and a safety issue for both students and buses.  We always have a lull in drop offs from about 7:25 – 7:30, and there is no waiting to drop off at that time. Please plan accordingly. After 7:45, parents need to accompany their student to the front office to sign in. Thank you!

NEXT WEEK
PICTURE DAY

Spring pictures, and classroom pictures will be taken on Thursday, March 14th.

Keep Reading and logging minutes into Beanstack!

WHEN READING WITH
AN EMERGENT READER

• Model finger-point reading. That means to follow the words with your finger from left to right as you read them. As your emergent reader starts to read, they will learn to do the same thing.
• Encourage “reading” or “pretend reading.” This reading from memory provides practice with retelling and practice navigating books correctly.
• Talk about the story. When your child is finished with a book, be sure to talk about what happened in the story, and maybe “re-read” favorite parts. Talk about any interesting words or new concepts.
• Let them know how proud you are! By sharing a book with a child, you’re sharing the joys and excitement of reading.
