We are moving right along this quarter. Today marks the 4th week of quarter 3. In the coming weeks we will be doing Dibels testing and confirming reading levels and growth in reading. I want to send a note of encouragement to each of you as you work with your scholar each night on homework. This is precious time and in first grade we are like no other. We are setting the foundation for the rest of literacy to build upon. I encourage each of you to dedicate a special time each night to sit and listen to your child read. Keep up the diligence, continue your consistency, when weariness arises, take a break, but don't stop. Keep going, day by day, little by little, one drop in the bucket at a time and gradually, progressively, and forward they will climb. Thank you for your hard work.
I hope you each have a wonderful week!
