Updates and Events



Dear Families,

Through the Fundations Program, we will be working on learning how to identify, write, sound out, and visually represent each letter of the alphabet.  I will update you weekly as to the letters we have done and the ones that are coming up.  Also, your child has been working on snap words in the classroom.  These are words we are learning in a snap.  They are also known as sight words.  We do not sound these words out, instead we recognize them by sight.  Again, I will update you as to the words the students are learning.  They have each received a ring of words for their book box here at school.  A ring of words will also go home shortly as part of the Home Reading Program.  We will talk more about this at the Open House.  Thank you.
