Off to a Great Start!

Week two is done and in the gradebooks... Fredstrom's class is doing a great job so far, and he is very proud of them. After some assessing, it has come to his attention that 18 of his 21 students are below grade level in reading...this shows how important it is for students to turn off the video games, computer (unless you are reading this!), or TV and open a book! Research consistently shows the more TV and video games a child watches or plays the lower their achievement levels! Starting September 10th, Arrowhead will be offering "READ IT", an opportunity every weekday morning for students to either read to or be read to by a teacher for 30 minutes before school starts. This is offered to all students and is FREE! It starts at 7:55 in the library. Hope to see you there!
