Teachers Attend Visual Phonics Workshop

This past Saturday and this coming Saturday our Prek-2 grade teachers along with Title I reading teachers are attending training in visual phonics.  This is a program to help teachers teach students phonics through additional visual clues, such as hand signals or symbols.  So if over the next couple weeks your child starts talking and includes hand signals, you will know they are in the group that is learning through visual phonics.  Research supports this program as a great way to help students learn phonics.  Many students learn better through visual clues so this would provide them with that type of support.

Cold temperatures expected for the week.  Please be sure your child has outerwear to cover they faces as well, such as a ski mask or scarf and hat.

Thanks!  We are off to a great week here at the Cavalier School!
