Welcome Back! We are thrilled to be getting to see the children whether it is in person or online this year. You will be learning more about our literacy program at curriculum nights in the next few weeks. Feel free to reach out to us after these if you have any questions regarding programs or routines.
What Kids Read Matters
Students who read a lot about a variety of subjects deepen their vocabulary, background knowledge and comprehension. A well rounded reader has an expanded understanding of the world. You can help your child expand their learning by providing them access to materials that they might not be familiar with. For the holidays this year what about giving a subscription to a magazine? National Geographic, Highlights, Ranger Rick and Boys/Girls Life are just a few favorites. Watch Arthur, Nature Cat,Wild Kratts or National Geographic with them or suggest learning websites such as Time For Kids,Learning Network and CNN Student News which are all fantastic at building knowledge.
