Reading Assembly

Today we had a reading assembly to wrap up our fun "March is Reading Month." Our presenter was a Michigan author Russel Slater and he read two of his books: I'm A Michigander and Eddy Elk and Mandy Moose. At the end of the assembly, the top two readers from every class were announced. We had many hours of reading in our classroom and I'm so proud of the participation from our class. Our top two readers were Klara and Colton. Way to go!

Inter-Generational Reading Buddies with Fountain View

As you know, we have our Inter-Generational Reading Buddies partnership with Fountain View Assisted Living in Coopersville.
