Look who has read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten!

You can start "growing your child for Kindergarten"  We have reading records and for every 100 books you read, you start earning rewards.     You can read any book you'd like and reading the same ones over and over again is great!  That's how you grow a Kindergartener.




Congratulations Siri! 

Way to go Henry!          Great job Claire!
