November 8th News and Notes

Reading Stars
In the Friday folder, please look for a handout that I call "The Reading Star".  Feel free to use these techniques when reading with your child to help them attack unfamiliar words.  This idea comes to us from a sectional I attended during our LEA Teacher's Conference in Milwaukee last month.

Religion
