Mrs. Wisdom’s first grade class practicing the vowel r syllable type in phonics this week #SoR #RISEArkansas #cardstudentsareworthit

This week papers have gone home regarding our Read-a-thon that starts next week (April 16th). Hopefully many of you were able to get registered. This is a fundraiser for the library since we have not been able to do a proper Book Fair. Thank you ahead of time for your support. Your child can earn prizes from me by registering, if you share on social media, and if you email friends and family. They also earn a small percent of the donations to spend in the reward store. The library will receive 75% of all donations! If you have any questions please email me at jdowdle@farmcards.org We hope to make this super easy for you, most of the reading will be done at school to help out with those families that have a lot going on after school. The only day you will have to log time will be on our blended day (April 23rd). We are reading 30 minutes a day (can be broken down into smaller segments if needed). Our K can use epic to read/listen to stories or you are welcome to read with them. -Mrs. Dowdle
