Read Across America

Why do we read Dr. Suess books?

Dr. Suess books build a great foundation for a love of reading. His books contain rhyme, rhythm and whimsical imaginative storytelling. These books teach essential phonological awareness, boost vocabulary, and make reading a fun, engaging experience.

This week we enjoyed having special visitors read to us. Our seventh grade students and Mrs. Angela Fox were amazing. Mrs. Fox works in the administration building and she is ready and able to help us with special activities.

Why is it important to graph in preschool?

Graphing helps children develop foundational skills such as counting, sorting, classification and one to one correspondence. Everyone had a great time graphing the animal crackers.
