ACCELERATED READER INFORMATION
Our class goal for the Accelerated Reader Program is for each student to
successfully complete at least one AR test each week. Many students are
choosing books for voice-assisted testing. As they gain confidence in
completing these tests independently and develop proficiency in reading
skills, they will transition to tests without voice assistance.
We ask that you help your child prepare for the weekly AR test by reading
their library book together, and asking your son/daughter questions about the
story--characters, events...Download the AR form on the MHR Library website
and assist your child in filling it out. Please make sure your child brings
the library book and AR form to school on Friday morning.
We look forward to helping your children become enthusiastic readers!
PLEASE HELP YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER DEVELOP MATH PROFICIENCY BY PRACTICING
SUBTRACTION FACTS UP TO 12 AT HOME. CONTINUE TO PRACTICE ADDITION FACTS ALSO
AND STUDENTS WILL BEGIN TO SEE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ADDITION AND
SUBTRACTION FACTS. INDEX CARDS CAN BE USED TO MAKE FLASH CARDS.
Please practice these math facts at home so your child can answer them
quickly from memory:
