In the hustle and bustle of the holidays, please remember finding time to read to and with your child(ren) is still possible...and important! What a fun time of year to read holiday books and familiar bedtime favorites with a hopefully more relaxed schedule. Books like The Grinch and The Polar Express can be compared to the movies, too. If you are able to visit safely with relatives, that is a great opportunity for students to let their reading abilities shine brightly. Happy reading over a safe and healthy Christmas break, Everyone!
Some of the 8th grade math students learned a new card game to share with family and friends over the holiday break.
