Sight Word Flashcards now in Communication Folders

This week, you will notice your son / daughter's sight word flashcards will be in their Communications folder. This will allow for your kiddo to practice their sight words more often then whenever their reading folder comes home. It will be in a mini-folder inside a plastic bag (so that if they fall out of the mini-folder they won't be floating around your child's backpack :). Please keep it in your child's communication folder so that we may add new sight words weekly. The goal is for your child to recognize them by sight immediately. We will check every couple weeks to determine if a word is recognized immediately and can be taken out or if they need more practice. This week, all students will have all sight words. Starting next week, we will take words out as they master them. Check the Home-School Connections blog for ideas on activities you can do with these flashcards.

Students who have letter flashcards will also be included in these baggies.
