On Thursday, classes in grades 3-5 paired up with younger classes to buddy read! Students were able to read together and help the younger kids feel comfortable reading out loud.

Reading at home is one of the best ways to support your student(s) as they learn to read. Read at home for 15-20 minutes each night, record your reading on our Metzger Reading Log attached below or on a reading log provided by your teacher, then return the completed reading log to your classroom teacher.

Need books??? We have books to share thanks to our Amazing PSO! Please reach out to Joyce Haner or Jesabel Centeno if you need books to read at home.
