Read to Achieve Notification Letter
Link to Read to Achieve Letter
Just a reminder--we also notify parents when their child is placed on Tier II. At the beginning of the year, you gave a letter at conferences. If you have a student who is new to the Tier process--they will need this letter sent as well. Place a dated copy in the purple folder.

3D Printer
Lots of possibilities. Students can create and design objects to explore flight, a symbol for a book or character, a new game controller or a way for them to problem solve and create solutions that are real. I think it will take some time for us to find deep level thinking activities but it will be amazing to do some true STEM activities.
Check out the following site to learn more about 3D printers and ways to use it!
