*REACH* Leadership Academy: Look into our week: Unit 4 wk 3 (2/11-2/14)

Good afternoon parents and guardians,

WHAT A FUN FILLED WEEK! Day of play was fun and our 100th day was AMAZING!
Thank you to all the families that donated towards our celebration. I hope your kiddos had a ton of fun! Be sure to check our Shutterfly page for pictures.

Families, don't forget to use SMARTY ANTS at home. Log in information was given at back to school night. This is an amazing reading program that is also INDIVIDUALIZED! If your child still needs help with letter sounds, it will help them with that. If your child is ready to read CVC words, it will challenge them in that.

If you have trouble logging in, please feel free to reach out to me!
