Our vibrant School Council met this past week – it was great to see both familiar and new faces at the meeting. All parents/guardians are automatically members, so please come to a meeting to find out what’s happening at the school!
We had a great week full week of surprises, celebrations and community spirit. Our classroom routines are well-established, with learning in full swing.
We often receive questions about how parents can help their children practice reading skills at home. Library books are often too difficult to read independently in the early grades, and just-right materials can be difficult to find. Check out the CBE Digital Decodable Library for simple texts to practice. These books are based on the science of reading research, following what research tells us about how children learn to read. If you are not sure which set to start with, ask your child’s teacher.
See you at the run on Thursday!
