The stories that are sent home this week
are to read for fluency. They don’t need to be returned. We also read the
stories in class as groups. Having practice reading them is very helpful.
Please
keep reading at least 20 minutes each night. Our goal for DIBELS is 87 words
per minute.
*Don’t
forget to mark the reading calendar each day*
Please
practice counting money with your student. Some of them are struggling with
this concept. They need to be able to recognize coins, know their value, and
count a collection of coins. We work on it in class but any extra practice will
be appreciated.
