Mrs. Joseph's Class Website
Wondering what to work on at home?
Reading, reading, reading! Read with your child each night for 10-15 minutes. Read to your child, have your child repeat what you read, and have your child read his or her book to you. Practicing reading makes us better readers!
There are many free online resources for reading, math, and other content areas. Please visit the Clever Portal. Some great sites to use are ST Math, Wonders, Moby Max, Starfall, and PBS KIds.
Please remember that I am always a phone call away if you wish to discuss your child's progress at any time. Working with your child is a team effort! Thank you for all the support you provide at home!

4. If my child has a bus change or is being picked up, what should I do?
If you know in the morning that your child needs to be picked up early or has a bus change, simply send a note in with your child. If for some reason, a change happens during the day, please contact the office!! This is especially important in case there is a substitute teacher in the classroom.
