Guided Reading Groups

Starting Monday, I will begin meeting with guided reading groups. This just means that I will be reading a book with your child on their reading level.  The following week, your child will come home with this book in an envelope.  Have your child read the book to you several times. They will be excited to show you how they can use their reading strategies.  Then sign the envelope and have your child return the book to school the next day.

Running Club

 Our WOHE Running Club will begin Thursday, September 17th. Forms went home last week. Running Club meets on Thursdays between September 17th and October 22nd from after school to 4:30. It helps students who want to participate in the WOHE 5K or 1 Mile Fun Run prepare for those races. The 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run is at WOHE on Saturday, October 31st. Come and enjoy the fun!
