How to improve reading and fluency with your student

The students are doing great so far! Everyone is working hard and creating awesome stories. As mentioned in the August newsletter, we are continuing our monthly projects and information can be found on the next page. I think it should be fun and engaging for the students! There are a few announcements regarding events going on at the school. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to e-mail me and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can! Sincerely,

Ms. Langhout
