LITERACY CORNER:  Play Word Games

Playing word games as a family will help kids notice sounds in words and increase vocabulary. For kindergarten students, sing songs or say silly tongue twisters. For first grade students, start with a word and then change one sound. For example, say hat and change /h/ to /f/. The new word is fat. Be sure to use sounds and not letter names. For second grade students, tell a family story and have children add details to the basic story. For third grade students, talk about homonyms. For example, jam could mean a sweet spread on toast or cars stuck in traffic.

Remember to have fun and enjoy your time reading together.

EARLY CHILDHOOD CENSUS CONTINUES:

Parents, our annual Early Childhood Census is now happening! We ask that you go to https://forms.gle/Xc2f8HYJSJPYeQKs6 to fill out this census for any of your children who are birth to 5 years old and not enrolled in kindergarten yet. The district uses this information to plan for future needs of our schools and to get important information to you the year before your child will enter kindergarten.

After Jan. 4, there will be an early childhood census worker in your area that will contact you if you have not filled out the census. Because of COVID-19, we are trying to limit face-to-face contact with our census workers, so please take the time to fill out the census online! The census will be open until January 25. Thank you for taking the time to complete this census! If you have any questions about the census or have trouble accessing it, please contact Emily Isaacson 307-885-7129.
