Today, your first grader brought home information about Pizza Hut's Book-It program. This is a free program through Pizza Hut that is meant to keep kids reading and reward them for it. Please develop a reading goal together. I can be "x" amount of minutes or "x" amount of books. Make sure your student's goal is challenging yet attainable. The program runs from the beginning of October through the end of March. Each month, your student will bring home a Book-It calendar. Fill in the minutes or books read on the calendar, return it at the beginning of the following month and your student will receive and coupon for a free personal pan pizza at Pizza Hut. Please email me if you have any questions about how this program works.
Tomorrow, your first grader will be bringing home information regarding their new ScootPad account. This is a website that is set up with various practice activities that are directly linked to the skills required by the Common Core. Math and reading opportunities are available. You can find your student's username and password on the letter. I will also send home a laminated card to keep next to your computer or iPad for easy access. There is a place where you can sign-up to see how your student is doing in different areas. I encourage you to look at your students work reports as well. Also, students can change their avatar and mood and earn coins toward fun games. They are also allowed to write messages to me or each other on the class wall All messages must be kind or encouraging or they will be deleted. Please let me know if you have any questions about this website.
