March Newsletter
Read Across America - March 3-7
Read Across America week is the nations largest celebration of reading. For our participation, we are striving to motivate children to read at least 100 minutes at home that week. Students will receive their Read Across America reading logs to take home on Friday, February 28th. Students and families will write down the times that they read each evening and have an adult sign it. If students reach 100 minutes that week and return their log on March 7th, they will receive a fidget or squish ball as their prize. We hope that reading twenty minutes a day might become a regular habit for your family. Your student may have enormous academic gains as a result.
Dress Up days!
We love dressing up to celebrate reading! Please join us in our daily themed activities!
Reading Buddies!
Reading is more fun when you do it together. We will celebrate reading by reading in our house groups on Friday March 7th to build relationships and reading skills.
Me love bookies!
Have you seen the Gruffalo?
Be a wild reader!
