         Remember Sue Okroy, Utah State Board of Education specialist in literacy tutoring and early education will be presenting a literacy training for parents on Monday September 18^th.  It will be held in the gym at 2:30 pm.  This will be an excellent opportunity for parents to receive ideas on how to help your children at home with reading skills. 

         We have been practicing blending syllables to form words in our CKLA program.  For example, cup…cake=cupcake; bed…room=bedroom.  We will now begin blending sounds to form words.  For example, /o/…/f/=off; /m/…/ee/=me.

         In our Go Math program the students are understanding more about the relationship between numbers and quantities.  When counting objects, students are able to pair each object with one and only one number name.

         Thank you again for your support at home!  Enjoy your week and please contact me with any questions or concerns.
