Important Information:
Reader bags
Prep children use their reader bag each day at school. After completing your reading at home routine, please pack reader bags back into school bags. Each day we practice the sounds that are in the sound bags and add a new sound. We also are reading the list of yellow words with our reading partners.
Teacher Sound Bags
We are still on the hunt for some objects to add to our teacher sound bags. We use these when are are teaching to have conversations about different things that begin with the letter. If you come across any small objects (that would fit in your hand) in your home or on your adventures that begin with these sounds, we would love them! Thank you!
- I - igloo
- V- violin
- O- orange
- Qu- queen
- Z- zip

Thank you to those who have already sent in items!
