We read the story each Monday. Students are encouraged to read the
story again on their own when they have free time or take the textbook home to
read to a family member.
Be sure to complete all homework carefully. Complete sentences are
required. Homework is an important part of our reading curriculum and is
always graded. Be sure to do your best work!
All students should be reading for AR. It is not part of the reading
