Hoot 29

Yippeee! Next week is spring break!

It was a Fantastic Read-a-thon in kinder last Thursday! Thank you, everyone for participating. Read-a-thon pledge moneys are due on March 20 (checks made out to TISA) in class. Please attach your child's reading log as well (as requested by the office).

I have been assigning Lexia as homework in kindergarten.  Please use Lexia during spring break to help with your child’s reading skills.
Your child's newsletter has the specific information on his/her weekly usage, weekly goal, current level, username and password.

Kindergarten end-of-year Lexia goal for first grade readiness: Level 6 by May

Lexia site: http://www.lexiacore5.com/ 
teacher’s email: jutka@tisataos.org
Lexia username: your child's first name in lowercase letters
Lexia password: lexia    

If your child is not able to use the online program, please let me know so I can send printed skill practice sheets home with them.

There is a package coming home today. Here is a pilot list for you.

• Readathon reading logs.
•  Lexia passwords and Lexia homework assignments.
•  “i” family readers. But there is a catch! Please keep these 6 “i” readers in good shape and together. Your child will need to bring the “i” readers in to class to exchange for the next set of readers (the“u” family).
• Short stories with the focus on “a” and “i” sounds.

Last but not least, soccer registration deadline (taosoccer.com) coming up fast tomorrow (March 10)! First soccer game is April 1, 2017.

I hope all the sickness, flu and stomach bugs will be vanquished by the time we return to school on Monday, March 20. We will be continuing with our “Inside the Human Body” unit and dance!

Enjoy your week!
