Hello Families!

These next couple months will be full of excitement and lots of learning AND will go by very quickly! This is a time when children are very excited which makes it more difficult to focus and learn. Please have a very important conversation with your child regarding this. I need them to still pay attention, ask questions and do their best!

Practice Packets are going well for the most part and I am looking forward to seeing gaps being filled :) Please review these skills with your child and return the packets to me on Fridays.

We have taken a STAR READING PM1.1 test and I am happy with the growth so far. Our next STAR TEST is on December 3rd.

Thank you for all families who I was able to meet for conferences. It was wonderful to meet and talk about your fabulous children.

Second Quarter goes by very quickly. We have a lot of hard work due and so many fun activities with the holiday season.

Please be sure to keep on top of the Practice Packets and keep leaving your valuable feedback. I appreciate your support.

Please do not hesitate to email me should you have questions or concerns: brenda.tain@tvcs.org
