📚 Summer Reading Camp: A Splashing Success! 💦
Our Summer Reading Camp wrapped up today with a splash! Students showed impressive growth—ranging from 20% to 60%—on their reading assessments. They engaged daily in hands-on centers, sensory breaks, literacy circles, and games. Earning compliments led to the exciting opportunity to soak their favorite teacher, adding a fun twist to their achievements.
We're incredibly proud of their hard work and the joy they brought to the camp. It was a summer filled with learning, laughter, and lasting memories!

We kicked off Monday morning by learning that our book study character, Hector Zeroni, faced challenges with reading early on. His story inspired us to work hard and stay focused during our UFLI, Blending, and partner reading centers. We wrapped up the day with some fun and energy-filled outdoor games—what a great start to the week!
