Happy Holidays!  Wow!  The year is moving by quickly, and there's so many interesting things left to do!  One of the most exciting things going on is the new Accelerated Reader system.   Students are reading and testing to achieve goals . The second graders are exploring nonfiction books, by learning to use reference books, such as dictionaries and encyclopedias.  Many activities are explored with our great readers as we travel through the Dewey Decimal System.

     Reading Tips

Let your student read the grocery ads  or magazine ads to you.

Find a comfortable spot for your student to read in.

Read a story to your student, then have them retell the story to you.

Look at the books that they bring home.  Encourage them to read to you

Have your student check out a book to read to a younger sibling.



Thanks for being a friend,
Mrs. Criner & Otto
