Reading tip***
Parents, when reading at home with children, read unknown words in chunks rather than saying each letter sound in isolation. For example, read "cat" as "c" "at." Not "c" "a" "t." Dog is "d" "og."Sunday is "sun" "day." Grandma is "gr" "and" "ma" or "grand" "ma."
Chunking words early in the reading process will help children become more proficient as readers.

*****Parents you must send a note if there are any transportation changes. This allows teachers to make sure students get to their correct destination.*****
From Mrs. Morgeson:
Please make sure your child(ren) are NOT eating around their Chromebooks. We have had several Chromebooks brought in because they aren't working correctly and it's because the keyboard is full of crumbs or the cord is sticky from a spilled drink or melted candy.
Parents:
You can download the Box Top app. With the app you are not required to cut out Box Tops anymore. You can easily scan your grocery store receipt and apply it to GES. Thank you to everyone that participates!!!
