This is a friendly reminder that there is a Reading Workshop for parents to attend today starting at 10:00 in the Orange Planning Room (right next to the cafeteria). A note was sent home a week ago about this meeting. Reading is so important because all students need to be able to read in order to understand informational text, narrative stories, science, social studies, math, etc. I hope you will be able to attend because this is a great opportunity for you to get ideas on how to help your child improve their reading.
