Weekly Update for 11/27/17

   Reading Steps on Weekly Schedule

On the weekly schedule listed below, I will start to include the number of steps your child should have by the end of the day.  This number includes 2 steps (30 minutes) at school and 2 steps (30 minutes) at home.  Independent reading is the only homework that your child has each night.  It is critical that your child be reading 30 minutes each night.  When your child becomes even a few steps behind, it becomes increasingly difficult to catch them up.
