Leaders Farm
Leaders Farm is encouraging reading. If your child reads 15 books and returns the reading log sent home with this newsletter, they will receive a free admission to the MAiZe along with a free order of CinnaSquares from Marco's Pizza. Please sign the reading log when your child completes it and return it to me.
Book Adventure
We will begin reading books for book adventure. Your child is encouraged to read books and then check their comprehension by completing an online tests. I used this program last year and saw a tremendous increase in the students' ability to read and comprehend what they read. The students were also so excited to read books. I hope to see the same results this year. Your student will be encouraged to read books and keep track of the titles. I will help them find the test online and complete it. Once the students become fluent in the process, they are encouraged to continue reading and testing their comprehension at home. If you do not have access to a computer with internet, your student will be given time during school to use our classroom computers to complete the tests.
