February Newsletter

I am sorry that I didn't get the January Newsletter posted,

but here is the February Newsletter.

Report Cards

The testing is over.

We are happy that everyone seems to be progressing.

We sent home Report Cards today.

Watch for them.

Alpha Friends

  

I have been testing letter and sound recognition this week.  

I waited to test those who have been struggling.

Here is what I have found.

When I show them the letter B

They all say, "I don't know".

Well we use Alpha Friends, so I might say

it's the the bear and they will say

b b bear, /b/b/ bear.

And I bubble over with happiness,

because they do know.

Here are some tools to use if your child is struggling.

And if they're not struggling,

we are blending words.

It's fun to practice.

Up and Running

We are happy to be back to school.

We defiantly are jumping in with both feet.

We have started testing this week 

and the IRI will follow in a couple of weeks.

The IRI is a test that measure how many letters or sounds a child can read in 1 minute.

 Feel free to practice at home.

A page of letters listed randomly is all you need.

Back to School

I hope everyone had a wonderful Winter Break.

Tomorrow is back to school.

See you then.
