Happy New Year!

Welcome back and Happy New Year!
I am excited to get back to teaching and getting the students ready for second grade. This month will be our Fall IRI tests. Students will be tested on Phoneme Segmentation Fluency, Nonsense Word Fluency, and a reading passage. By the Spring IRI each child will be expected to read 53 WPM. Please help you child at home by doing weekly homework and daily reading. Thanks for all you have done so far and I look forward to the next few months.

Ellis Christmas Party and reminders

Merry Christmas!
Ellis Chrismas Program "T'was the Night Befor Christman" will be performed by kindergarten through 5th grades. Ellis School will again have three performances due to the limited parking and seating in the gym. Please try to come at the scheduled time scheduled by the first initial of your child's last name. This will make it more pleasant for all attendees. Note: Afternoon kindergarten will have only one performance at 1:30 P.M. on Wednesday, December 17th.
