Great Audio Book Resource, How 'Bout Them Apples, and New Class Book

We know that the ways that kids learn to read best is by reading to themselves, reading to others, and listening to fluent reading. Here is an excellent way for your kiddo to read books on a device. It tracks the words for the kids (highlights them as they are read) which is awesomesauce!!

It’s A Talent Show!

As part of our I Can Do Anything unit this week, we will be having a class talent show. Talents might be singing a song, doing a magic trick, jumping rope, counting to ten in another language, hopping on one foot, or any other clever thing that your talented kiddos can do. Think EASY-BREEZY! Our talent show schedule is:

Tuesday, 9/22 ~ Mrs. Cooksey

Wednesday, 9/23 ~ Will C., Will D., Natalie E., Mason, Gabby, May, Carson, Andrew, Molly

Thursday, 9/24 ~ Caleb, Mili, Natalie, Aubrey, Evan, Owen W., Yixi, Luis

Be on the lookout ~ I will be taking a picture of your child doing his/her talent, and we’ll be making a class book to send home and share.

Thanks for your support,

Peggy Cooksey

We will start learning 3 new popcorn words each week. Once you can read these words, you'll notice they "pop up" all over the place. Please listen for the scoop, and learn a fun game to play with flashcards that are in folders today. The goal is for your kiddo to know these words in a SNAP. If he/she already does, spelling these words would be the next step! Thanks for your support!!
