November

 

 

Happy November!

 I am pleased to announce that Title I here at Consolidated will be co-sponsoring the Consolidated School Literacy Night on Tuesday, November 27, from 6:30 to 8 in our gym.  The evening will consist of terrific handouts for you to use at home--lots of great tips included on how to enhance your family reading time.  We will also play literacy games and have the opportunity to listen to great readers, including long-time educator Diana Abbott and our own Mrs. Pence, to name a couple.  I have to share that despite being a youth leader from my teens on, attending and receiving a college degree in primary education, and reading all of my life, it was not until I heard Mrs. Abbott at the library story hour that I truly learned how to read.  Come see firsthand some tips and techniques on how to make reading a story very special.  Please join us for this evening. Light snacks will be provided.

I have shared with teachers my feedback and insights on each of your children and how they are progressing during their Title I classes.  Take a moment to ask for that input during your conference time.

As the year progresses, we will be spending more time on what makes a good reader and a good writer.  Your children are all focused and willing students, and I greatly enjoy working with them.  Thank you for promoting and supporting literacy in your homes.
