Reading Skills

Reading specialists have identified a

variety of skills which they believe a child

must master before he or she will be able to

learn to read. As children master these

skills, their chance of becoming a good

reader is greatly improved. One key skill is

coordination. Some “at home” activities

you can do to help build this skill are:

Have your child hop on alternate feet and

then both feet or run in place to music.

Do stretching and bending exercises with

your child.

Bounce a ball to your child and have them

bounce it back.

Have your child walk or jump forward,

backward, and sideways.

Thanksgiving Feasts

Monday & Tuesday

November 20th &21st

Check your child’s classroom for

special information.

Things to be Thankful for - Little fingerprints all over the walls and

windows - it means we have children to

love.

- The mess after a party– it means we have

been surrounded by family & friends.

- Piles of laundry - it means we have

clothes to wear.

- Bags of groceries to carry from the

car - it means we have plenty to eat.

- A huge utility bill - it means we have

lights at night and heat when it’s cold.

- The taxes taken out of our paychecks

it means we have a job.

- The alarm that goes off early in the

morning - it means we get another day to

learn to love one another as God loves us.
