Valentine's Celebration

We had a read aloud today of Happy Valentine's Day, Mouse!  Then enjoyed some cookie decorating to go with our story.

A Message from Mrs. Wallin



As we continue to progress in our literacy efforts at Clever Schools, we have attended many conferences with some of the leading authors and researchers in the field.  Every book I’ve read and every speaker I have heard always emphasizes the importance of “volume reading”.  We have heard over and over that the more a student reads, the more success they have in their overall school achievement.

One of the ways we are trying to accomplish more “volume reading” is with the implementation of our Quarterly Reading Challenges.  This quarter we are “Reading for a Slam Dunk” and each student has been given the criteria to meet this challenge.  Those students who meet the challenge this quarter will be entered into a prize drawing, receive an extra recess AND a special school assembly! Please take a moment to read the attached brochure which outlines the importance of reading at home and we beg you to encourage reading at home.


It’s not too late…there are 22 school days left in the quarter!  Congratulations to the students who have already placed their name on the “Wall of Fame” for the quarter.  I hope to see EVERYONE represented by March 6th!

Thank you for your continued support at home,

Mrs. Wallin
