READING MONTH

We have had an awesome Reading Month!  Thank you, parents, for encouraging your child with so much reading!  I am very proud of the kids and all the reading they have done!  Our class came in in second place in our reading competition.  We were only 33 minutes behind the winning Kindergarten class, Mrs. Brinks!  So it was very close, and I commend the children on a job well done!  I hope you and the children can continue the wonderful habit of reading together!

Reading Minutes

Don't forget to turn in the slip for your child's reading minutes for the week each FRIDAY!  We will add the minutes up at the end of the week and see which class is ahead in our competition!  REMEMBER, the classroom with the highest number of minutes in each grade level at the end of the month will win a field trip to the Wex for ice skating and broomball!
