Way to go, 4th Grade!! 40 books were turned in today from your class. In addition, Mrs. Russell's class now has all of their library books in. #proudcardinal

Our 5th graders shopped for books to take home and read over the summer to avoid the "Summer Slide." As little as 20 minutes of reading a day will help maintain the reading skills they have worked so hard to achieve over the school year. Over two months of learning can be lost over a single summer and it's cumulative from year to year. Watch this video to learn more about the summer slide. https://youtu.be/Cqf-eKM5MOg?si=hiJMIdxmNtTMkHh0&t=15 #proudcardinal
