Literacy:  Figurative Language

Congratulations to Blake (6th grade) and Treyvon (2nd Grade) for earning a soccer ball for reading.  Blake has read 255 books and Treyvon has read 181 books.    Don't forget to have your children read.  

13,415 books have been finished.  We have read 2,400 hours 51 minutes.  Fourth grade has read 4,634 books and spent 879 hours 24 minutes reading.

Book Buddies:  1st Book Buddy Reading - two classes, Ms. Gills and Ms. Key's.  Both classes did a great job. 

To Develop Every Child Into a Reader:

• Everyday a child reads something they choose to read.
• Every child reads accurately
• Every child reads something they understand.
• Every child writes something that is personal and meaningful daily.
• Every child talks with peers about reading and writing.
• Every child hears an adult reader read fluently.
