As we make way for new Spring routines, it is important to reflect, revise, and revamp current routines and practices. Kindergarteners continue to practice reading fluency daily through large-group reading lessons, guided reading groups, Quiet Reading Time, and partner reading. Beginning today, your Kindergartener can leave their canvas book bag at home. We will continue send home weekly paperback books (in Ziploc bag) with students each Monday. We will also continue to use black & white books at school for sight word practice, spelling sort supplementation, and reading group books. These books will go home via your child's Take Home Folder when we are finished with them at school and they can stay at home. Doing so, allows us (your child's educators) to print books based on students' individual needs rather than trying to keep up with weekly whole class book needs. This also gives us the chance to further personalize your child's reading education - meeting them best at their individual reading needs.
If you are looking for books to supplement what use to appear in the canvas book bag let me know and I'd be happy to provide your family with additional resources. Thank you for understanding as we work to provide the best and most effective routines for your child and family. Please let me know if you have questions.
Finally, save the date....we will be making our next trip to the library on Wednesday, April 1st (no April Fool's joke here ;) ). Be sure your child brings their library card. Thanks for your support!
