"Almost all children respond to music. Music is an open-sesame, and if you can use it carefully and appropriately, you can reach into that child's potential for development." Dr. Clive Robbins

Home Challenge:  Have you tried having your child read some simple books to you yet?  Let them sound the words out and I think you will be surprised how well they can sound out words.  I recommend the “Red Books” at the Hyrum Library.  The series of books is called “Reading for All Learners”  It starts with “I see Sam” and they approach reading in a simple step by step method.  http://www.iseesam.com/ 
Announcements: I will be sending home February Calendars home this week so look for those in your child’s backpack.  We are doing the craft on Monday and Tuesday with old CD’s and DVD’s so if you have any please send them this week.  Thanks!
