Notes from the Teacher:


-I am amazed at the way the children have taken to AR!  They’re really getting the points!  I’m very proud of them!  Please emphasize that they need to read the books carefully so they can answer the questions on the tests accurately.  When they rush reading the books and taking the tests it counts against them because it brings their average down.
