I am so excited about some of the things that we are doing in the intervention classroom. You have the right to privacy. It is no one's business that your child receives intervention services. That makes if very difficult for me to post pictures or video of things we are doing in the classroom. I would love to do so. If you have no problem with your child being photographed or videoed and it being placed on our blog there will be a form for you to fill out at the bottom of the newsletter next week. Please fill this out and return to me as soon as possible. I will not video any child that I do not have this form returned and on file.

If your child is in intervention, you should be receiving a newsletter with a story attached each Friday. If you are not receiving this information, please contact me and let me know. I am personally handing them to the teachers and asking that they be placed in the child's take home folder on Fridays. I know that things I give the children don't always make it back to class and in the folder. I am making every effort to make sure you receive this information. Please read with your child every night. The statistics on children that read at home for 20 minutes each night are amazing. Practice makes perfect!!

It has been an exciting first week of classes. I think we finally have the schedule set. I am currently seeing 30 second graders and 23 first graders for intervention. If your child is among these students just know that I will work diligently to improve his/her reading skills. This is an issue that is extremely close to my heart. I love to read and I want every child to have the skills necessary to be an effective reader. I also want them to love books and want to read.
