I am very pleased with the growth in reading as I have been working on assessments over the last two weeks. Also, my class met their goals\/RIT score on the NWEA reading assessment for the middle of the year. This is quite an accomplishment! Thank you parents for your continued support at home.<\/p>\n

We will continue to focus on reading strategies; comprehension, fluency and word to help build skills in reading. As your child becomes more confident with word strategies, decoding words and knowing their sight words their writing will improve too!<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend! Stay warm – Winter is finally here!<\/p>\n
