December News Article
December Literacy News Books make great Christmas presents! Young children especially like to read non-fiction books that include photographs of real objects, animals, or places. Over 80% of what we read and write on a daily basis is non-fiction. These books help readers build background knowledge in a wide variety of areas. Reading about the real world helps students to make more connections between books and their world.
Reminder to Parents:
Students will be starting middle-of-the-year benchmark testing the week of December 7th. Please talk to your child about the importance of doing their best and listening carefully to the directions during the tests.
On testing days, be sure your child has had enough sleep, eaten a nutritious breakfast, and arrives at school on time and in a pleasant mood. This will help set the stage for him to do his best on the assessments.
