Fight Summer Slide!
Summer reading is so important to prevent what we call Summer Slide. Please click on the image below for ideas and suggestions to keep you child's mind active and skills sharp. It would be a shame to lose skills learned over the school year. This video was created by a Martin County Colleague.
Summer Reading Prizes
It doesn't matter what program you choose, if any, the important thing is to read! Please bring any of these program trackers, or just a list of books you read, to Mrs. Parrilli in August and she will give you a reading prize bag. Also, MCSD Reads Accelerated Reader program is available for you to start getting points for next year! In addition, any Sunshine State, Jr. or Orange Blossom books you read over the summer will count for next school year as well! Oh, and as you may know, you can listen to, read with someone or read independantly for your book to "count." Mrs. Parrilli is looking forward to giving our a lot of prize bags in the fall. AND who will win the MCSD prizes...highest score in each grade per school!
