Power of Our Words

Our theme for this year is "The Power of Our Words."  I had a chance to share some words (a book) with 3rd and 1st grades last week.  It was so exciting to spend time reading to them.  Recently, a consultant from an educational consulting firm toured our building.  She remarked "you are a school that READS!"  And we do.

Reading is all around us.  Don't forget to reinforce this skill throughout your family life- trips to the grocery store (lists, finding products, reading the numbers for weight or price), making dinner (recipes, amounts, serving size), going on a trip (street signs, maps): the possibilities are truly endless.

If your child is not reading at the level you would expect, or if after looking at their testing scores you are concerned, please contact Ms. Kucevich and we can come up with a plan to help.
