Centerville Families,

It has been such a joy to see the incredible growth happening in our classrooms! This week, I had the pleasure of visiting many kindergarten, first, and second-grade classrooms, and I was amazed by the progress our students are making as readers and writers. From sounding out words to crafting sentences and stories, it’s clear that their hard work and determination are paying off.

You can help continue this growth at home by:

• Reading together daily: Even 10-15 minutes a day can make a big difference!
• Asking questions about stories: "What do you think will happen next?" or "What was your favorite part?"
• Encouraging your child to write: Create grocery lists, write letters to family members, or keep a journal.
• Making reading fun: Visit the library, explore different genres, or let them pick books that spark their interest.

Thank you for your continued support in nurturing your child's love for learning.

Go Cougars!
