Welcome Back!

Students and Parents -

We are so excited to welcome you back for another great school year! Mrs. Bone and I are both so excited to be working with such a great bunch of students for another year. We are also looking forward to getting to know some new friends :) We have had a great summer spending time with our families and hope that you did too! We will be using this blog to post information about what we'll be doing in class, reminders about upcoming events, as well as extra practice opportunities. Our hope is that parents and students will stop by often.

Your 1st challenge: Leave a comment on this post telling us something fun you did this summer. Each student who leaves a comment by Friday will get 10 Math Bucks! Want even more? Have a parent comment too and you'll get double - that's 20 Math Bucks!

Looking forward to a wonderful 1st day of school!

P.S. Newsletters will be going home bi-weekly - check out our 1st one!

Reading Comprehension

Parents -
As we begin a new school year, I wanted to share a great article about reading comprehension. This article gives information on the main components of reading as well as 9 steps to comprehension, which will give you ways to help your learner. You play a huge role in your child's literacy development. Please take a moment to read.
