Reading:

As students are moving along in their reading not everyone is reading at the same level anymore. Check the homework bag nightly to see if they have a book to read. I will try to stick to Wednesdays but for those further along in their reading it may be before or after Wednesday.

This week I will be sending home their login information for the Google classroom. I will be taping it to the inside of their blue homework folder. Please have students practice logging in. The passwords are very tricky with having to use the shift key for Uppercase letters and symbols. Once they log in to the classroom, if you scroll down to the third post there is a link to the website. Teach Your Monster to Read. It is a great tool to practice letters and sounds.
