Sight words in a bag will be sent home with your child twice a week.  There will be an activities sheet sent home with these sight words,also. Please do two activities with your child and sign the ticket.  Return to school with the ticket signed and your child will earn a sticker.

Little readers, that your child has read at school, will be sent home with your child to read at home.  Please sign the ticket.  Your child's ticket will be put in box to draw from weekly.

 

The first three weeks of school the sight words will be given rather quickly because most are words from kindergarten.  After we get through those,  your child will get one new set each week.  I will post those on my web page at that time.
