10/29/ Congratulations to our sixth habit hero - Ahana
What a great trip to the orchard. The students did a great job listening to process of getting an apple from tree to market in a variety of forms. The trip goes with the science unit exploring trees.
Thank you to the parents who joined us and to all the parents who volunteered. I have never had so many people willing to join me on a trip. Please keep the Spring field trip in mind.

READING AT HOME: I write this every week.
Reading with your child at home is the most impactful activity that you can share with your child. Make it fun. Ask them what words or letters they already know. If you are willing to highlight the words they already know, it makes for a great visual for seeing growth as a reader.
Have a wonderful weekend.
