2nd Grade Double Dose Reading

After reading, Hey Little Ant, students wrote about what they thought the boy should do. Should he squish the ant or not? What would you do?

5th Grade Double Dose Reading

This week we worked on making inferences. Making inferences allow us to draw our own conclusions based on the evidence in the story. We are becoming reading detectives!

Route to Reading-Third Grade

This week we explored more cvce (consonant vowel consonant e) words adding o, e, and u to our memory bank. Ask your child to tell you about "magic" e. Our new story is Skull Cave.

Route to Reading-First Grade


Students expressed their artistic side this week by creating four pictures. Three of the pictures had the same sound and one had a different sound. Then they challenged their peers to determine the picture that did not belong.

cherry, chair, chocolate, watermelon
Which picture begins with a different sound?

Route to Reading-Kindergarten


Kindergarten's favorite activity this week was using witch fingers to point to each word in a sentence. We also previewed the next skill syllables. Students enjoyed hopping through the hallway on our homemade hopscotch board.
