And that’s a wrap on our first week of Reading Academy! 📚 Our students have worked hard in small groups and literacy circles, building their reading skills and confidence along the way. Each day, they look forward to a well-earned recess break before heading to Art. In Art, Ms. Danielle guided students in using oil pastels and blending colors—just like they blend sounds and words together while reading. It has been wonderful to see their creativity and learning shine both in the classroom and the art room.
