CYCLONE CHATTER 9/5/14
The Preschool Cyclones started their Letter-A-Day theme this week. They read stories, sang songs and practiced writing the letters A, B, C, & D. They were super excited Friday, for their very first Show & Tell! They also had Miles of Smiles when they went and saw the hygienist on Tuesday!

Parent Reading Tips:
*Once is not enough!
Encourage your child to re-read favorite books and poems. Re-reading helps kids read more quickly and accurately!
*I read to you, you read to me!
Take turns reading aloud at bedtime. Kids enjoy this special time with their parents!
