Celebrating Reading

Last Friday, I enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies with the 4th grade students who earned all of their AR Points.  AR, or Accelerated Reader, is a program that encourages reading.  Each child's reading teacher assigns a number of points that students should achieve during the 9 Week period.  The 4th grade students who achieved their goal were awards with a movie along with their cookies and cocoa.  This Friday, 3rd Grade students will be doing the same. 

Also, a quick reminder that students may participate in the SCA Sports Day on Friday, January 21st by wearing their favorite team gear!  (Go Steelers!)

Happy New Year!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday break. We are back at school and hard at work finishing up the first semester of the school year.   It is hard to believe that we are almost halfway through the year already.  Students have been working hard this week, but I've seen many sleepy faces coming in from the school buses!  I've seen many students in the library taking Accelerated Reader tests so that they can get their points for the 9-weeks. 

Just a reminder, parents are able to have access to their children's grades via the Parent Portal.  If you haven't picked up your child's access number, please feel free to stop in the main office to get this.  This will allow you to check on your child's progress and see if there are any missing assignments that could be turned in prior to the end of the nine weeks.

As always, please feel free to contact me any time if you have questions, concerns or would like to share some good news as well!  Wishing you a wonderful 2011.
