New app

Check out this app if you have an iPod, iPad, iPhone, etc..., in the App Store, letter school.  I am going to try to find time in class for select students to work on their penmanship with this app.  Thought you'd like to try it at home.  I haven't tried to google play store but maybe they haven't something similar for the android users.

Thank you

Thank you so much to all the parents who took the time to come by the workshop tonight.  I hope you left with some new ways to help your child with his school work.

Fluency folders (purple) go home every night Monday thru Thursday.  Students should read for one minute mark where they stop then continue until the end of the passage.  Subtract errors from total word count to get words read per minute.  The comprehension questions should be answered at home each night as well.  Your child may choose to work ahead if he/she would like.
