From the Principal’s Desk

Dear Parents,

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how thankful I am to have such a wonderful staff, hard working students and supportive parents. Enjoy this time to be with your family and reflect on the season ahead. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers on Thanksgiving Day.

Debbie Bohn, Principal

Car Wash Tickets on Sale

Five Finger Rule

Have you ever wanted a quick way to evaluate whether or not your child is reading at the level that keeps him on the growing edge without being frustrating? Well, say “hello” to the five-finger rule. Get your fingers ready!

One Finger= If he looks at a page in a book and only sees one word that he doesn’t know, the book is too easy. This is a book to read for fun.

Five Fingers=If he can see five words on the page that he doesn’t know, this is above his current reading level and will frustrate him. It’s a bit much for him to take on independently right now.

Three Fingers=However, if he looks at the book and sees about three words that he doesn’t immediately know, he’s right where he needs to be.

Next time you’re at the library, have your little reader check out a one, three, and five-finger book. One, they’ll read for fun. Three, they’ll read independently. Five, you will read it to them. It’s so important to read out loud to your students and kids adore it!

Help the Children

For the month of December, we will collect all canned vegetables other than green beans. Thank you
