Progress reports are a quick snapshot that focuses on learning skills and work habits. It shares initial progress towards curriculum expectations.</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">CROSS COUNTRY - We had so many Storm Kiddos participate in Cross Country this fall - it was so great to see our little school bring more runners than some of the bigger schools!</span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">BOO BASH - What a great turn out to our first BOO BASH!

All Welcome!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><br></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Update on Learning:</span></h2><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">LITERACY</span></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Another big focus in most of our classes this fall is reading fluency! This is something you can easily practice at home! When reading to your child try some of the following to support reading fluency:</span></p><h4 class="editor-heading-h4" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">PRACTICE TOGETHER:</span></h4><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Model reading aloud: Read to your child with expression and clear phrasing to show what fluent reading sounds like and to make it enjoyable.</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Echo reading: Read a sentence or passage with expression, and have your child repeat it back, mimicking your pauses and voice pitch.</span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Choral reading: Read a book or passage together at the same time. You can read slightly ahead so your child can follow your lead.</span></li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Take turns: Read alternating sentences or pages to make reading a collaborative activity. </span></li></ul><h4 class="editor-heading-h4" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">REINFORCE WITH REPETITION:</span></h4><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Reread favorite books: Encourage your child to reread books they enjoy. Repetition builds confidence, speed, and accuracy without the pressure of new material.</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Practice with familiar texts: Reread familiar short texts like poems, nursery rhymes, or song lyrics to help them get comfortable with rhythm and flow. It doesn't always need to be a story book or novel!</span></li></ul><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></p><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">MATHEMATICS</span></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Mathematical reasoning at home - try these examples below with your Storm Kiddo!
