Report Cards
December Holiday Shoppe
- PTO Holiday Shop- The holiday shop will take place again this year during the week of December 4th. Thank you to the PTO for this enjoyable activity for our students. Information about class date and time will be sent home through the PTO.
Counseling Corner
November provided a great opportunity for Mrs. Slacin to get to know Reynolds students better during Minute Meetings; a one to three minute check in to see how the school year is going! Students provided quick feedback on school, friendships, and connections with staff when they needed help. Minute Meetings are a great opportunity to connect with all students and remind them that Mrs. Slacin can provide support when needed. Mrs. Slacin and Mrs. Severs have been recognizing Star Students in special announcements each week. Students that go above and beyond by spreading positivity and kindness are given a shout out, special certificate, and gold coin that lets them know how much they shine at Reynolds School! Keep up the great work, Rockets!
Tips from the Reynolds Learning Lab
Literacy:
Practice reading and spelling your child’s red words in a fun way. Write the words on Post-It notes and stick the notes to different spots in your child’s room. Have your child use a flashlight to shine on a word and read it. Turn the flashlight off and have your child spell the word.
Numeracy:
Estimate and count. Give your child objects (start small at first) and ask your child how many he/she thinks there are and then have them count the objects. Talk about his/her estimate compared to the actual amount.
