Dear Parents,

Thank you for the help from all of our amazing volunteers in the classroom and at home!  We appreciate you (and so do your little ones)! :)

3.Encouraging reading is one of the most important things we can do to help your child succeed. It can be tough finding the right books to keep them interested, which is why I am so excited that our class will be participating in Scholastic Reading Club this school year. With Scholastic Reading Club:
