Second Family Night of this year!!
December 14 is the date for our mid-year Family Night. Join us for pizza and a great holiday activity! Students and their families will be reading and following directions in order to create a cookie mix that can be given as a gift. They will also be able to create a gift bag for the mix. As always, child care will be available for young children. Please see attached flyer for more information. cookieFamnightflyerpdf
As the school year progresses, we continue to see more improvement in students’ reading stills. Our classroom instruction still emphasizes fluency and students are working on oral reading skills. If your child isn’t reading aloud to you a couple of times a week, ask them to. Christmas books and stories are a great choice of read alouds. Don’t forget the PACT pairs of books to read with your child.
Non-fiction reading makes up the majority of what students are expected to read, understand, and use throughout middle and high school. The further along students are in school , the more non-fiction reading there is and the more “reading to learn” they are expected to do. We incorporate various non-fiction books and magazines in our classes to teach and practice non-fiction reading strategies. Encourage your child to read and discuss non-fiction materials. If they can find print material that taps into one of their interests, they may be more motivated to read.
