One of the main areas of academic focus in second and third grades is to make sure that our students are reading at home daily. Reading is very important and it should be continued after school ends. Each child is to get a library card, and he should visit the public library at least twice a month. Additionally, second and third graders are focusing on the areas of writing and math. Parents should let their children know that they are loved and they are special.
Parents can help at home by seeing that their children read every day.
Children should have a comfortable spot to read and study. Parents should check planner for homework daily. In response to the data collected from last year s FCAT test, fourth and fifth grades are placing emphasis in math. Fourth and fifth grade students should continue reading aloud to parents or family members. Planners should be signed each night verifying the student has read at least 20-30 minutes each evening.
