The Importance of Nightly Reading
As educators, parents and caregivers we recognize the importance of reading with and to our children nightly. Although our busy schedules often make it difficult to find the time for nightly reading, we know that it is imperative to do so.
Consider just a few of the many benefits of nightly reading:
*Reading builds many important foundational skills including sentence structure and word awareness.
* Reading creates connections in the brain that promote language as well as cognitive, social and emotional development.
* Reading impacts our imagination and creativity, promotes empathy and enables us to appreciate different cultures and perspectives!
*Reading increases our working memory.
*Reading introduces new vocabulary; check out this AMAZING statistic:
What’s the difference between kids who read more than 30 minutes per day versus those who read less than 15 minutes per day? TWELVE MILLION! Between kindergarten and twelfth grade, students with an average daily reading time of 30+ minutes are projected to encounter 13.7 million words. At graduation, their peers who averaged less than 15 minutes of reading per day are likely to be exposed to only 1.5 million words. The difference is 12 million words.
AND FINALLY—-----brain research indicates that reading can also reduce stress levels and make us happier! Happy Reading!!!!!

World Read Aloud Day ~February 1, 2023
For 13 years, World Read Aloud Day has called attention to the importance of sharing stories by challenging participants to grab a book, find an audience, and read-aloud. Our students participated in many different activities throughout the day.
My favorite was listening to books read by their authors LIVE!
Music with Ms. Cunningham
First grade musicians are getting their “sea legs” on how to design and put on a performance! They are truly “sailing” through the process by deciding what is important and what to “wave” from the show. It’s sure to be a “whale” of a time and we hope to “sea” you there!
PE with Mrs. Sudak
Our students are working on developing their hand-eye coordination and concentration skills while playing two and four square during PE classes. We are working in small groups and are focusing on striking the ball with control using our hands. The students have been doing an excellent job cooperating with each other and showing good sportsmanship.
