I am looking forward to another wonderful year with the best students and most terrific teachers that anyone could hope to work with. Let me tell you about two great programs that I hope everyone will take advantage of.
North Elementary offers an exciting Take-Home library for all grade levels to participate in. Each school day, a carefully selected book is sent home with students. This book is on your child's independent reading level so that they can practice and work on fluency, accuracy, and expression.
Kindergarten students can participate in a similar program called the Parent Read Aloud Program. Books are sent home in a plastic bag and read to your child. Each day the previous book is returned, a new book will be sent home. When adults read aloud with their children, they quickly learn that a book is a wonderful thing. "The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children." (Becoming a Nation of Readers, p. 23).
Please take advantage of these programs by reading and signing the parent agreement form which gives your child permission to participate and states that if a book is damaged or lost, a $5 book replacement fee will be assessed.
Thank you for your continued support with the education of your children.
