Dear families,
This year, our class is excited to read with Scholastic Book Clubs! It’s a great way to build up your child’s book collection at home and help them improve their reading skills. And when you shop with Clubs, your orders earn points I can redeem for books and other classroom supplies we need.
Here’s how it works: I’ll send home flyers throughout the year. If you decide to place an order, you can do that through our class ordering page. Your books will arrive at school about 10 days after I submit our classroom order.
By teaming up with Scholastic, we’ll help your child become a more confident, independent reader—and we’ll build a classroom library all of my students are excited to explore!
Order due date: 02/17/26

Happy reading!

What are we learning?
Character Strong: Week 3 of PERSERVERANCE- NEWSLETTER HERE!
ELA
Module 7 - Everyone Has a Story (week 1)
HELLO, FAMILY!
Over the next three weeks, our
class will be learning about how people’s life experiences shape and create
their life stories.
We will read biographies about
people who overcame obstacles to make their dreams come true. Children will
create timelines of their own lives that show special memories and
accomplishments. Children will also write a story about an imaginary character’s
adventures.
BRING IT HOME! Learning fun for the whole family!
Big Idea Words. Reinforce
these important topic words when you are reading or talking with your child: account,
achieve, hurdle.
Try to incorporate questions like these into everyday
conversations:
·
What is your account of what happened
today?
·
What did you achieve today that you’re
proud of?
·
What could you do to overcome this hurdle?
Let’s Read Together.
Make a special time and place to read with your child every day.
During this module about important people, try these
activities during your reading time together:
·
Identify events and experiences that are
important to the characters you are reading about.
·
Talk about how everyone goes through tough
times. Make a connection to a tough time a character has.
·
Point out words the author uses to help you form
a picture in your mind.
Word Play. Play
with words to help develop skills that are important for reading.
Week 1: Word Search
Find words in your daily reading
that have a vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel pattern. For each word, say the
word and jump where the syllables should be divided. For example: rab/bit.
Week 2: In the Barn, I Played with Yarn
Reinforce the ar vowel sound by making up amusing sentences with these word pairs: car/far, bark/dark, art/tart.
Week 3: Homophones
Together, make a list of all the
homophones (hair/hare, pair/ pear, toe/tow) that you can think of in one
minute. And . . . GO!
