Chess Club - This is the final week of chess club for this year. Both Wednesday's and Thursday's chess clubs will meet.
Open House and Book Fair - The open house and book fair has been rescheduled to Tuesday, April 23rd from 6:30 to 8:00. We hope that you will be able to join us to see all of the hard work your children have done in school and to enjoy some new books and ice cream.
Summer Reading - It is not too early to begin thinking how you, as parents, are going to keep your child reading this summer. Many libraries have summer book clubs that help to encourage summer reading. If your child is a stubborn reader, it may help to hire an older student to come at a set time to read with your child each day. A junior high student would be perfect for this job, (maybe some budding teacher), and would probably be willing to work for a relatively small amount of money. Another idea is to have a set family reading time when everyone sits down and reads. This can be especially helpful if everyone gets a chance to tell the other members of the family what they have just read about or a favorite part of what they have read. So, I encourage you to be proactive about your child's summer reading program. Think carefully about what would fit into your family's schedule and plan ahead to make reading an important part of your child's summer activities.
