Reading: From Strong Roots to Bright Futures

Little Flower School Apparel Order Form

Welcome Back to school!!!  We had a great start to the school year last week.  Thanks to all the parents for attending our back to school night.  This year our theme, READING: FROM STRONG ROOTS TO A BRIGHT FUTURE, challenges our students and their families to grow as readers.

This year students will have a 20 minute Monitored Sustained Silent Reading period each day.  Students may read materials of their own choosing, and they will have weekly conferences with their teacher to talk about what they are reading. This period will be in the AM on yellow days, and in the PM on blue days.  Look for the dots outside the school office.

In addition to increased reading during the school day, we are challenging our students and staff to read (or be read to) for ONE MILLION minutes this school year.  Parents are asked to note the minutes read each day in your child’s assignment notebook. We will keep a running record and recognize students as the reach certain plateaus (500 Minute Club, etc.). Once student council is elected we will determine a satisfactorily crazy stunt to reward the school when they reach their goal. 

All research has found that reading, not only in school, but as a lifelong value, is critical to success.  We will continue our commitment to teaching students the skills to be good readers. We will continue to offer them the time, the role models, and the motivation to be lifelong readers.
