A few things...

Home reading books - I have been reading with students this week and exchanging books. If you feel you would like more books at home to practice, please write me a note and I will send more. I have not yet had a chance to read with everyone, by the end of this week everyone will have read with me once. Also, as mentioned before, please let me know if the books are too difficult or too easy. Thanks for your patience.
Math games coming home - I have begun sending home math games. Each child will get a turn to bring home each game to play with you. We have played these games at school, so students should be able to explain the rules. Have fun!
