Congratulations to Kayden. He earned his AR shirt this week. Kids seem to be reading all the time. What a difference it has made for the fluency of those who do this. It is so exciting to watch the light bulb go off. Watching children become fluent readers is the highlight of my job!!!

Have a great week!!
