Brrr, it is certainly getting chilly out there! As our weather gets colder, our students are working harder than ever. So far, our students have read over 21,100 books and 95% of our 2nd-5th graders are participating in our Accelerated Reader program. The writing in kindergarten and first grade has improved so much – what fun it is to read the stories in the hallway! After reviewing recent assessments at every grade level, it is clear that the students are really working on increasing their fluency and accuracy as they read. I am proud of the work in the classrooms, as students focus on CAFÉ skills in reading (Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency and Expanding vocabulary.)
Our students have also been making great progress with their technology skills and they are applying academic skills through our I-Touches, Smartboards, mini-laptops and our computer lab. Ask your child what they like best about our technology!
I want to thank our Dad’s Club for their leadership in setting up our Lunch with Dad’s week – it was so great to see so many men on our campus supporting their children! The Dad’s Club also greeted students as they arrived to school during Spirit Week! Next, they will be encouraging Dads to come out and read to a class on Dad’s reading day, December 2.
Thanks to all of our parents for their support on our Fall Fundraiser! It has been a huge success and allows us to provide so many programs to our students throughout the year.
Please remember the new Student Assignment Plan Information Session will be held at school on November 28 at 7:00. If you have any questions about the plan, we’ll be here to help!
