Tuesday: Please review contents of talk home folder with you student.
Friday: Short day schedule. Students are welcome to show their Quest pride by wearing their school spirit shirts (with uniform pants).
Homework: Please read with your student for a minimum for 20 minutes every day. I strongly encourage you to use part of that time to work on letter naming fluency. Most students know all their letter names and sounds however goal for the middle of the year assessment is to name 55 random letters (upper and lower) in 1 minute. Using flashcards is one very effective way to practice and build fluency!
