I PICK good fit books

Today, in reading, we learned the acronym I PICK.

I choose a book
P urpose~Why do I want to read it?
I interest~Does it interest me?
C omprehend~Am I understanding what I am reading?
K now~I know most of the words

I PICK helps teach children about choosing good-fit books.  Research tells us that the very best way to grow as a reader is to spend lots of time reading, and the majority of that time needs to be with a good-fit book.

Curriculum Night

August 30th 7PM  Curriculum Night for Parents

We are looking forward to meeting you on Thursday evening for our Curriculum Night.  The evening begins at 7:00 pm in our classroom.  (Room 130)  We will provide an overview of the year and give you some time to write a quick note to your child.  At 7:30, the evening will continue in the commons with  a message from Dr. Olson and the PTA.  It is a great evening for us to meet one another and the other families in our room.
