Lauren and Jaxon are celebrating their reading progress and tons of hard work with a stretch on the floor, a tasty treat and a fantastic read aloud!  Iggy Peck by Andrea Beaty is one of our favorites: a well-written, inspirational story that incorporates rhyming while encouraging any reader to follow their dreams.  We love it all!

We are so very grateful to work with these precious children, their wonderful families and our awesome teachers every day! We hope you all have a very full (on multiple levels ;)) and happy Thanksgiving this next week while spending time with family and friends.  We'll look forward to being back with our burgeoning  readers in a week!

Our 4th Graders are busy crushing books this year and reaping the benefits in multiple ways!  Aside from increasing their fluency, comprehension and enjoyment of reading, they are bringing friends from outside of the Reading Room in to join the fun!  Here, Chloe and CoCo have chosen to celebrate Chloe's latest Punch Pass completion by working on literacy skills and bringing shaving cream into the mix.  Who knew spelling, writing and reading could be so much fun?!
​** Research says that writing actually improves learning, so...why not? :)

These wonderful Kinders are cementing letter names and sounds by doing lots of different activities to practice their skills.
