Book Bag Homework

        Reading every night to your son or daughter every night has proven benefits in their development of language, vocabulary, and early literacy skills.  It is a Groton expectation that every student reads or be read to at least 20 mins a night.  Of course you may use books from home or the local library to do this, but to help give you more choices, our class has Book Bags!  Your child will choose 5 books from our classroom Library to bring home Monday and keep for the week.  They must be returned Friday to change out books for the following week.  Your child may exchange them at any time during the week if your family reads through them and wants new books.  Once we start reading groups, your child will also bring home a guided reading folder periodically with books they have learned to read and school and must practice reading at home!
