Summer school is coming to a close this week! It's hard to believe three weeks have come and gone so quickly! Today, I noticed some students working on math and reading while on the computer, at their desks, with a partner, or with a teacher. So much learning!
This year, I am really going to work hard at making literacy a priority at Grundy Center Elementary. It is so important that kids find that fire to learn and grow through books. In my past 18 years of elementary classroom experience, I prided myself in turning the readers AND non-readers into bookworms. We have a very special event coming up next week, so stay tuned!
Check out this video which emphasizes the importance of creating a culture of readers!

Aside from all of the learning happening this summer at Grundy Center Elementary, we are also making some nice improvements to our building. Some of the things you may notice next time you are at school are: secured keyless entry on all outside doors, a buzz-in system at the front doors, some new concrete sidewalk pieces, new carpet in four rooms, video cameras in the hallways and door entrances, and fire protective water sprinklers in a few remote areas.
It's all a bit of a mess right now, but very soon it will all be coming back together and we will get ready to see you all at the Open House on Thursday, August 20! See you then!
