The class has weekly guest readers. Mrs. Doak or Mrs. O'Donnell stop in and read with two students. We are trying to start understanding books. Children who begin reading with adults learn concepts of print, sight words, environmental print, and story elements by mimicking and interacting with the adults that read the text with them. Reading means so much to our students. Talk with your child about the stories that Mrs. Doak and Mrs.O'Donnell are reading with them and how they scored on the test questions.
We have studied the basics of number names and items in a set. The kids were able to complete concrete activities with beans. Photos will soon be posted to demonstrate some of their work in action.
