I would like to thank all the parents who came to our Author’s Celebration yesterday morning! It was such a big hit we even ran out of food! The kids enjoyed reading their books and your comments too. If you compare the Q2 informational book to the Q4 informational book, you will see how much growth in writing your child has accomplished. I am very proud of them!
Yesterday a summer reading program sponsored by Cobb County Schools and Scholastic went home. We as a Cobb County school would like to break the national record for number of minutes read this summer. We would also like to see KES as one of Cobb County’s top schools. The flyer yesterday was orange and contained the web site and your child’s personal log in. Every time they read, they should log in those minutes! You can also count the minutes we spend reading at school. You can add 2 hours a day from our time at school. That is about the minimum amount of time we focus on Reading. If you need assistance with logging in please let me know. Start logging in today. The program actually started last week. We have some catching up to do! J
Way to go Class! We turned in all of our Library books, and as luck would have it, we won an hour of fun with Mrs. Finnegan!
We will get our fun reward on Monday in the afternoon.
