Wilson Reading: Tapping words

We learned how to tap out words today.  When your child comes to a word they do not know, they should hold their writing hand up, and tap a finger with their thumb for each letter sound in the word.  So for the word "cat" they would tap their first finger for /c/ their middle finger for /a/ and their ring finger for /t/ as they say each sound.  They they should slide their thumb across all the fingers they have tapped to say the word slowly.  Good luck!

School Dances

Hi parents!  I wanted to encourage you to participate in the Mother Son Hoedown or the Father Daughter Cinderella Ball.  I will be volunteering at both and they are such a good experience for family bonding.  I have never been to the hoedown but I have been to every cinderella ball for the past 10 years.  I used to be Cinderella!  It is so special for fathers and daughters.  I hope everyone thinks about coming!  I sent home information for both but would be happy to send it home again if you have misplaced it :)
