Families:
Mrs. Henderson would like for your family to participate in a Christmas Family Writing Assignment. Please allow each member of your family to write down one Christmas memory starting with the youngest member of the family and going to the oldest. Each member will add their own memory of Christmas to the piece of writing. Send the writing in with a photo attached (if possible) and it will be posted on a bulletin board in our school.
For Example:
I love the smell of cookies baking (George-Age 2). I remember Santa bringing me presents (Sam-Age 5). I remember our family making homemade stockings and hanging them on the fire place (mom). I remember my dad reading the Christmas story out of the Bible on Christmas Eve (dad).
100 Book Challenge: We have been challenged to see how many steps we can earn throughout the month of December! We have several children who are approaching their 100th step!! (That’s 25 HOURS of reading!!)
Thank you for the feedback that you are sending on your child’s Skills Card! I can see daily improvement in the children and their reading. Thank you for continuing to review the skills and strategies on the cards. By now, your child should be able to read for 2 15 minute periods at home, or maybe even 30 minutes in row. Let me know how that is working out! Thanks for your support.
