I recently read another article and really liked the questions the authors provided. I found it thoughtful I wanted to share with you as well.
A READING CHALLENGE
By reading more complex books, your child can learn new words, facts, and ideas. They will also be exposed to more complicated plots and will grow as a reader.
Share these suggestions:
● Knowing something about the topic or setting makes a tougher book easier to comprehend. If your youngster is reading a novel set in about another set in another country, they could talk to someone who has been there or look up the country online (try a children’s site like kids .nationalgeographic.com).
● Encourage your child to look at a simpler book on the same subject. A picture-book biography about Harriet Tubman may help your youngster better understand a textbook chapter on the civil rights movement, for instance.
● Suggest that your child read complicated material with pencil and paper in hand. They can jot down questions, words to look up, or facts he wants to learn more about.♥

Proposition S would fund 39 priority projects
Springfield voters will be asked April 2 to consider a $168 million bond proposal to fund 39 high-priority projects, which were recommended by a citizen’s task force to make our schools safer and stronger for students and staff.
The projects will renovate or reconstruct 6 schools, create safer entrances at 31 schools, plus add classroom space to expand preschool.
Projects that would be funded by Proposition S include:
Secure entrances will be built or renovated at 31 schools
Renovation at Sunshine and Williams elementary schools and Hillcrest High School will address accessibility and security challenges, in addition to other improvements.
New schools will be constructed for Boyd and Delaware elementary schools and Jarrett Middle School, fixing all security and accessibility issues.
New storm shelters will be added to Boyd, Delaware, Williams and Sunshine elementary schools, Jarrett Middle School and the southwest early childhood center.
Classroom space will be added to expand preschool services in the district.
These school improvements would cost less than 10 cents a day in additional property taxes for a home with a market value of $100,000. This proposal requests an 18-cent increase to the debt-service levy, which would be phased in over two years: 9 cents in 2019 and an additional 9 cents in 2020.
