November Newsletter
Website Resources
I discussed home reading with many families during Parent-Teacher-Student interviews. Aside from physical copies of books that can be sent home, I have many links to audio books in the French Audiobooks section of this website. All of these resources can be easily accessed from home. I also have a variety of English reading resources under the Online Resources - English section. I assessed all students reading levels in September. French reading levels were assessed in May and June of last year and I read with all students about once a week to work on French reading.
Another area to check out is found under Extra Math Practice. I have uploaded a variety of resources for extra practice and challenges in math. Feel free to check it out!
