WELCOME!
This site is a wonderful way for us to stay connected throughout the year and it is loaded with information that I hope you will find helpful!
Read With Your Child Everyday
Research has shown that good readers have been exposed to an average of 1,000 stories a year by the time they reach the age of 6; that is about 3 stories per day. For this reason, it is important for children to read and/or be read to on a daily basis.
Homework Is Very Important
Homework assignments are designed to extend the work in the classroom. Practicing skills at home is essential to a child's academic success. Please take time to work with your child, who needs your support.
A Message to Remember…
All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, dads, grannies and grandpas, aunts, uncles – someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next generation their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams.
