What have we been up to?

We hit a BIG milestone last week, that's what!

Each day we have an independent reading time, called Read to Self, when the kids read books that are at their independent reading level quietly to themselves.  We have been working on building our stamina for this activity since the first week of school.  The first day we did this, we were able to read for 2 minutes.  This week we reached the 10 minute milestone!  We are able to read independently for 10 minutes now!  This is a huge accomplishment for the little monsters!  I couldn't be more proud of them!

Just a reminder: please be sure to return the books that are sent home each week in the homework folder.  These books are the same ones that we use for our Read to Self time at school.  Some of the books also belong to the school so it is very important to return them so you are not charged for them.

Finally, please be sure to read about the basket our classroom will be putting together for the annual Halloween Carnival put on by the PTO. Our basket theme is Arts & Crafts.  Please read here for more information!
