☀️Join the Summer Reading Challenge!☀️
This summer, students are invited to embark on a literary adventure with our Reading A-Z Summer Reading Challenge! As students read, they color in the letters of the alphabet on their special Reading A-Z tracking sheet. Students can color and read their way through summer! Challenge sheets went home in Thursday folders. If an extra copy is needed, please see the link below. Happy Reading!
