Reading Buddies

Today was our first day having 'buddies'. Our buddy class is Ms. Zebrun's grade 3 class. Students had a great time shairng their read-to-self books with their new buddies. 

We are spending time during our literacy block figuring out what words we know. By grade 2, students should have a strong understanding and ability to recognize 'sight words' - more commonly used words.
You can help your child with this by pointing out common words in their home reading books (which will start back up on Monday!). 

Check out these websites to help support your student's sight word knowledge:
