Why Balanced Literacy? •Involves several methods of teaching reading and writing: whole class instruction, small group instruction and independent work. •Integrates a variety of approaches which naturally allows for a balanced to be achieved; in turn, students learn to read, make meaning from text and become proficient writers and spellers.

Arrival/Dismissal •  School doors open at 8:15am. Please do not drop off

your children earlier than 8:15 because they will not be supervised.

•  Dismissal is at 3:45pm. •  Students who leave before 12:15pm will be counted

absent for the day. •  Parents, please send a written excuse to me within

two days that the student returns to school from any absence. The absence will be coded unlawful without an acceptable excuse. You can also look on the website and send an email excuse to the office.

•  In order to avoid confusion and disruption of school dismissal, early dismissal will end at 3:15pm.

books we provide your children needs to be returned each day for in-class activities.

Ø  A weekly homework sheet will be sent home to check off activities to complete.

Ø  When sight words are written in the students planner, study those for the week (write the words on flashcards, highlight in a magazine, write a sentence using the word, etc.)

Ø  Practice writing their name, letters and numbers. Do not forget to practice the sound of the letter and the value of the number!

Ø  Additional activities: practice tying sneakers, opening milk cartons, cheese sticks, fruit cups, juice pouches, etc.
