Message from the Principal
Last month Black History was celebrated and this month Women’s History Month will be celebrated for their vital role in American history. “It is an annual declared month that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society.” The celebration began with one week and was extended to a month in 1995. “These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields.”

Finger Re-Tell
Here’s a fun way to help even the youngest reader! The finger retell is a quick, simple reading comprehension strategy to use with students after any story (read aloud or independently). The fingers add a visual and kinesthetic component, and are great memory cues that they will always have with them. Parents can use this as well so they can practice at home. After reading a story, have students hold up one finger for each of the following retelling points:
Thumb–Somebody: Who is the story about?
Pointer Finger–Wanted: What do they want?
Middle Finger–But: What problem do they run into?
Ring Finger–So: What do they do to solve the problem?
Pinky–Finally: How did the story end?
