Parents and Guardians,
Your child came home with a non-fiction book this afternoon provided by the Belton Educational Foundation! This book is for your child to KEEP! The district is eager to support the Common Core emphasis on non-fiction and we are so appreciative of their generous gift! We've been discussing the different ways to read a book this week, and we realized that looking at the details in pictures really helps us understand information in the book. Please find time (as I understand how precious it always is) to look at the details in the photos/pictures to understand the information the illustrator is wanting to share. Sight words (a.k.a. popcorn words) have been a strong emphasis in our class as well. If your child finds a sight word, please join in the celebration of their success of noticing them. We have been recognizing how these words just "pop" up everywhere in books!
