During our computer time, we also completed our first trimester of AR Reading. We are proud to say that all the students made their goals! Next week students will be taking the STAR Reading test again to determine their new AR reading range. Students will also receive a new AR reading points goal. As we start trimester two, our point counts for AR will be cleared and each student will start to work towards earning their trimester two points goal. Be sure to read each night and come prepared on Wednesdays to take AR quizzes.
