Parent Note Finally
By Tamara

Sorry this has taken so long to get out.....

Dear Parents/Guardians:

This is your child's poetry folder. This folder is a vital part of our reading program, in that it contains the poems, songs, and rhymes we have been
learning in class. Each week the children will add a new passage to their folder. By the end of the year your child will be able to successfully read this wonderful collection.
Your child will take this folder home once a week for reading pleasure and practice. It would be helpful if a family member could read the passage first, if needed. That way your child can hear the flow of the

language, and will be better able to predict unknown words. I will also assign a homework activity for them to complete using that week's poem. After you and your child have enjoyed the folder, and completed the assignment at home, return it to school the next morning. Please be sure that the folder is returned in good condition, and it always needs to be brought to school in a bookbag.

I look forward to working with you on this project. Due to our work together, your child will continue to develop as a lifelong reader. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Tamara Norton
