Program Highlights:
Area: Reading Incentive Programs
We have seen our students become passionate about the reading-writing process through creative endeavors:
We initiate the school year by sending our student astronauts "Out Of This World" with our "Race To The Sun" reading program.
In November, after our trip through our solar system, we're going to land and enjoy some great books in our incentive program, "Get Caught Up In A Good Book".
In January, our students are issued passports to "Read Around The World" through reading a variety of books, while learning about the continents.
In March, Our students will go on a wild adventure with our Safari Reading Theme while we are studying animal habitats.
We wrap up the year with our "Camp Read A Lot" program. Together we celebrate the learning journey that has brought us much success.
