we did first, second, third and last.

Dream Box: Dreambox
is an interactive math program that the students have been working on here at
school. We encourage the students to log in at home and practice
developing their problem solving skills. Teachers are able to track their
progress and see what areas they are excelling in or that may need improvement.

Home Reading –
Please have your child read around 20 minutes every night. Don’t forget
to engage your child by talking to them about the text. Being a good
reader is more than just knowing the words!! Good readers will: make
connections, ask and answer questions, visualize the text, make inferences and
transform their thinking.
Alternatives to Traditional Reading –
Part of being a good reader is understanding how to tell a story!
Sometimes listening to a good book is just as educational as reading a good
book. Please check out the links below for alternatives for those days where you’d
like to a change of pace.
