Announcement: Reading Homework

We are having so much fun learning to read.  Last week, our reading brains grew and bloomed when we discovered that we are already readers!!  The Kindergarteners learned that there are THREE ways to read a book.

1)  Read the Words
2)  Read the Pictures
3)  Retell a Story

Students were delighted to know that reading the pictures helps their reading brains grow while they are learning more and more about reading words and sounding out letters.  Your help is needed to help out our love for reading...

1)  Please be sure your child has their own Iowa City Public Library card by TOMORROW, Wednesday, September 24th.  They need to bring their library card to school on Wednesday, September 24th so they can check out three ICPL books when we make our way to the library on our first monthly library field trip.  No booster seats are needed as we will be taking the city bus.  We are looking forward to it.

2)  By Monday, September 29th, please have your child bring in their favorite book to share with the class.  A way to grow to love reading is reading favorite books and sharing our love for them with others.  Help your child find their favorite book and bring it to school.

As always, don't hesitate to ask questions.  Thank you for your help and support!

Now, enjoy these photos of our Cottontails learning to read!
