*Mrs. Ross has entered all students into her classroom for the private website Raz-kids. Students should begin reading at home immediately (reading every night is part of our kindergarten daily homework) and enjoying 10-15 minutes a night as a kindergarten student (reading pack books count!) or 10-20 minutes a night as a first grader.
