We pledged to read and read we will, when words we feed our brains we’ll fill! Read Across America continues for the month of March here in second grade. We already know how important reading is, and so we will sharpen our focus by including more reading in our life and having fun in doing so! We are dedicating time each day to quietly read a book(s) of our choice during D.E.A.R. Time. Remember that our reading challenge will end this Wednesday, March 31. This challenge, if met, will award the phenomenal reader a special prize when all tasks are completed, with a dose of good humor. Please email me pictures of your little readers in action! Their pictures will be added to our classroom Reading Wall of Fame! Students will also have the opportunity to read their favorite books to the class so prepare to share! Setting time aside each day for reading for pleasure is so very important. I encourage everyone to be a role model for your children. Why not donate more time each day in your family life and support your young readers!
Respectfully,
Antonia Ryan
