Events

We are having a great time in Mrs. Franks' class. We have been working on getting to know each other. 

We will soon start doing our ABC Bootcamp. Students will learn the letter names and sounds for all of the letters in the alphabet.

We will also be learning numbers 0-5.

All of the children are very sweet and I am excited to see them learn.

Please remember to contact me through Dojo or by me email listed above.

 

Homework

After the students get settled we start sending home books for them to read with you every night. We will also send home "Rainbow Words". These are words that will help students in reading throughout the year.
