Reading Logs I’m so impressed with the reading logs filling up! Please keep your logs in your folder. This is the best possible homework for you and your child. Try to share the reading and ask lots of questions together as you are enjoying the book. Your child’s fluency will build along with their comprehension skills. And as you model how much fun reading is they will develop a love for it too! It’s a win win situation! Happy Reading and logging! If you need to change your child’s regular transportation, please send a note that morning.   If you must call the school, please do so by 2:00 with the change. Sending a note that morning in the red folder is the best way to change transportation. Thanks!
