Sight Words

Would you like to monitor your child's progress with sight words?  If so, be sure to check out this site!  I really like this site because it is differentiated to meet the needs of each individual student in my class.  Thanks to Madison's mom (Ms. Stover) for sharing this site with me :)

Spirit Week

Spirit Week is coming! This is bound to be a student favorite for the school year. Spirit Week begins on Friday, September 7 with "Wear School Colors" of blue and green or your official BRES t-shirt. Monday, the 10th brings out the hats. Wear your favorite hat to school!  Get your red, white and blue out for Tuesday the 11th. On Wednesday, get ready for "Backwards Day!"  Wake up early on Thursday to prepare for "Wacky Hair" day. We will also have our second school Spirit Night from 5-8 p.m. at McDonald's in Fuquay Varina. Join us for supper or get dinner to go to support the BRES PTA. We will end the week by once again showing our school spirit by wearing our school colors or our official BRES t-shirt.

Tumblebooks

I want to encourage all students to visit Tumblebooks online if you have access to the Internet at home.  In class we have practiced logging into this site.  Students are working towards logging in independently, as an adult is not always available to assist students with logging in.  This is a great site for all students to practice their reading.  There are a variety interests and book levels for students to choose from.  There are also comprehension quizzes that students can take to make sure that they are comprehending what they read. In addition, students may read books online and count this as their 10 minutes of reading homework each night!
