Reading

Your child should be bringing home a book about every night.  Please encourage your child to keep reading! 

I Love to Read Month is starting at MLE.   We are really thinking about reading!  Our theme is: Experiment with Reading!

·         Week of Feb. 16^th – Unplugged week-encourage your child to unplug that electronic device and read!

·         Feb. 20^th Book Swap- bring in a used book to trade for another book.
