Why Central's Families Read...
Starting in kindergarten, if a student reads 20 minutes a day at home, they will hear 1.8 million words per year. They will have read for 851 hours by 6th grade and on standardized tests, they will likely score better than 90% of their peers.
This is compelling data on the benefits of encouraging your child to read.Get reading Central! It's the Panther Way!
Look Who Made the CENTRAL HALL of FAME! #GOPANTHERS
Math or Treat in 5th Grade with Mrs. Tribble. Students solved math questions and either won a treat or another math problem!
Our i-Ready buddies went out this morning. Congratulations to Mrs. Wooten's 1st grade class for having between 70%-100% on lessons passed in Reading. Congratulations to Mrs. Tuten's homeroom class for having the highest class average on their recent Standard Mastery.
