This is so teachers know the child has been signed out. Sickness: We would appreciate a phone call to the school to let us know if your child is ill.

10. Reading We want your child to be successful and enjoy the home reading program. Take home books The readers that your child bring home from school should always be easy. This is the chance for them to work on their phrasing and fluency so the reading sounds like talking. It is also a chance for them to give a retell of the story and answer some questions about the book. At school the children will work on reading material that is more challenging.

11. Excursions We believe that excursion experiences and primary resources are very important provocations for the inquiry process. We also encourage the children to bring along artifacts and books that fit in with our Units of Inquiry. If your child takes action related to our inquiries at home please let us know.
