September

It has been a super start at Willow Springs.  Track one has almost finished their first quarter and will be tracking out and receiving report cards on September 13th, so please look out for those in grades 2-5.  Teacher conferences have begun, and we encourage you to attend so that you can have an opportunity to find out where your child is excelling and how they can improve in their quest for excellence.  Our teachers will also provide suggestions for ways you can help your child be even more successful.

We have seen some fantastic growth already in our students’ reading.  The Daily 5 activities in many of our classrooms engage our readers in opportunities to read to themselves, read to others, free-write and work with words and expand vocabularies.  I have been very impressed with the students and their determination to work as a team to ensure that the learning environments during reading are optimal for every learner.  Remember, Keep Reading, Keep Growing!!!!
