Keep Up The Spring Reading!!

We know Spring can be a really busy time for everyone!  With the weather warming up, there are always more fun things to do outside!  We want to really encourage you to help your children find time to read.  Come up with a set time, like right before bedtime or over breakfast.  We only have a few weeks until the IRI assessment.  This means that first graders are supposed to be reading atleast 53 words per minute, second graders are supposed to be reading atleast 92 wpm, and third graders are supposed to be reading at 110 wpm.  Keep up the good reading!!!

Lucky March Reading!

Spring Break is such a fun time for everyone!  We really hope that everyone kept reading to continue their success for the rest of the school year!  We are down to only a couple months left of school and want to encourage everyone to read every night.  Make reading fun by allowing your child to choose the book, even if it is too hard.  Take turns reading pages or sentences!  They learn more when they are interested in the material.  Keep up the good work!
