March is Reading Month!

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

Dr. Seuss

Dear Families,

Our students and staff are enjoying the dress up days this month. It is exciting to see how each student embraces these special days. During March is Reading Month, please take some extra time to read with your child and listen to them read. Have them retell the story to you. Ask them questions about the plot and conflict. Our students love to share their knowledge with you and are making gains every day!

Mrs. LaVictor

P.S. Stay tuned for Baby LaVictor news!
