Ms. Lally's personal classroom library book list via Libib. Students will be able to check out books regularly from the VCES to keep on reading.
SEE below for the weekly home practice guides for UFLI, our phonics program. Students are expected to study the lessons to prepare for the weekly assessment in spelling and conventions.
Media Day is usually on Friday mornings. On this day, students are allowed to check out up to 4 library books. They are encouraged to select books on their independent reading level. Please ask your child to see these books. They should be taking at least some of them home to read, but also need to keep a couple in class to read.

Students need to arrive before 7:50 to be able to sit and eat breakfast in the cafeteria.
Students may bring a snack/water bottle daily or you may choose to donate a class-size snack for PI.
Please regularly check your student's agenda, and the contents of the binder. You should see homework, and other papers coming home.
UFLI study guides, along with timed fluency practice passages, are sent home weekly for you to study/review with your student to assist them in learning the current phonics skill. If you notice many 1's and 2's coming home on such assessments, please utilize these resources.
