Notes from the Teacher:
-I am amazed at how the children have embraced AR!  They are reading all the time! 
I’m very proud of them!


-As you probably have noticed, the children are bringing home several graded papers.  (1st grade is definitely different from Kindergarten!)  They have to read a lot on their own and work independently often.  Please emphasize the importance of working carefully and to always try their best.  Encourage them not to get discouraged.  They’ll get the hang of it!
