Throughout the year, the children experience the confidence and self-satisfaction of becoming independent readers. Parents and other visitors are welcome to come in and listen and, if they choose, read a favorite story of their own to the class. Specials Specials, which include music, gym and art, are scheduled on a rotating basis. A monthly calendar is sent home the first of every month stating the specials' schedule. Reading At Home Reading at home is a vital part of our first grade reading curriculum.
Parent involvement is essential for the children's reading success.
Each day the children bring home a book from the media center to share. The more the children read, the more independent, self-confident and fluent they become in their reading skills.
