What is your reading routine? These readers shared an example of where they read. Ella is reading on the couch, and Kaylynn built a fort and read there. Mrs. Thompson's friend Arnold took a break while working at his desk in his office to read. Let's see where you read.

Miss Annette says don’t forget your food pick up! We’re here until 6. And fill out the survey for next week too!
More creative reading going on. Did you know that reading aloud helps with comprehension and fluency. It builds confidence with speaking and helps readers understand new words by hearing them in context. Read to your children, have them read to you, or read together! Brayden found a tree to read to his sister. Gracelynn's tiger listens to her read.
It's important during times like these to stop, and do something you love. Brooklyn channeled her inner Ms. Durkin today and created a beautiful "stained glass" window for her family's living room.
Don't forget to complete the Food Distribution survey for next week! Every family qualifies regardless of financial situation. It's a great way to feed you or the kiddos and save you a trip to the store to stay safe and healthy. Link is on our website under Live Feed and on the FB post.
New today! We've missed being able to wish you Happy Birthday. If we missed you while we were away, your wishes will be coming soon. Today, Apr. 3rd, we wish Alex Franke, Rylan Hash, and Rainey Jones Happy Birthday. Apr. 2nd birthday wishes go to Jed Sieber.
Please read the letter in this link from Mr. Lechnir and Mrs. Schoen regarding learning as we move ahead in this closure. Do not hesitate to reach out to either Mr. Lechnir or Mrs. Schoen with any concerns.

So much fun seeing all the reading and fun going on with it. Curtis and his family built a fort, and he read to his sister in it. Elise found a cozy spot by the fireplace with her cat. Keep the pictures coming! And keep on reading!
Ms. Durkin is teaching the colors of the rainbow - ROY G BIV - and the order they are in. One student, Alex Toussaint, took his assignment outside to spread some cheer and color. A perfect picture to share today!
Today's Throwback Thursday spotlight is on last year's 6th graders when they looked back on their reading throughout the year in Mrs. Zorea's class. What has been your favorite book this year?
