Nonsense Word Fluency
Nonsense word fluency measures a student’s ability to decode individual phonemes and then blend them together to read. They’re an indicator of a student’s progress in acquiring early alphabetic principle skills. By using nonsense words, we can find out whether a child knows the most common sound for letters (letter–sound correspondence), and whether a child can blend the sounds to read words he/she has never seen before.

Changing Weather & Lost Jackets/Clothing
Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for outside play. We go to recess at 12:30pm. Temperatures can still be pretty chilly at that time. Now that the weather is much cooler, please send your child to school with a jacket. Please label your child's sweatshirts and jackets with his/her name. That way we can make sure it is returned to him or her if it gets misplaced. Thanks!
HMH Into Reading myBook
Students have completed the first two HMH Into Reading myBooks. Your child can keep these books forever at home or recycle them, if you prefer. Your child does not need to finish any of the activities inside the books at home. Your child DOES NOT have to keep these books inside his/her backpack. These books are for your child to keep at home. Thank you!

We will need volunteers this year for field trips and other opportunities! In order to be a volunteer, you must have attended the Volunteer Orientation and completed the criminal background check. All volunteers are required to reapply EACH YEAR.
