 I am so excited to be your child's teacher! Although it is not often that I will assign homework, please allow your child to read to you for 20 minutes everynight and to be sure that they are comprehending what they have read. Also, we are learning cursive this year, so please work with your child every night on their cursive handwriting! Thank you so much for all that you do to ensure your child has a successful year at BBE!
