Reading Comprehension

Does your youngster listen actively when you read aloud? It's a key to understanding what's happening in the story. Try these simple tips to build listening skills:

• Ask your child to retell small parts of the story to you or ask him questions while you read. Examples: "What will happen next?" Why do you think she did that?" Find the answers to the questions together.
• After you've read a story together two or three times, skip a word or two and have your child fill in the missing words.

Either way if you become an avid reader your child will be come one also. Enjoy the weather and take a book outside both can do wonders for your spirit.

Have a great weekend and stay safe, Mrs. Schultz

The Lights Are Out !

Thank you all for being so patient during our blackout on Wednesday. Without going into much detail it was a ground fault in our parking lot lights. When the building has no electricity not only are lights and heat are affected, we are no longer have direct service with our fire department. This, as you can see, really becomes an unsafe environment for all our students. Therefore, they received an extra day to enjoy your company. I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend and a safe one, Mrs. Schultz
