Reading: A Foundation for Success
Every week we will pass along some tips for reading with your children.
Use tried-and-true teacher tips to help your child become a better reader. During your read-aloud times at home.
- Stop before the end of the story. Ask your child to predict what may happen next.
- Encourage your child to predict what the next rhyming word may be if you're reading a rhyming story or poem.
- Have your child relate the story to a personal experience or to another book.
- Ask how your child might have changed the story. Would your child prefer a different ending? Would the story be more interesting if it was set in a different place or time period?

The EPA estimates that 200-300 million pairs of shoes are thrown into our landfills each year contaminating our environment. The Conservation Crew would like your help with keeping sneakers out of the landfill and reducing toxic chemicals in our air and soil. Please only bring in used athletic sneakers. We can not recycle dress shoes, heels, sandals, wedges, rain boots, crocs, and other non-athletic styles. There will be a box located in the front entryway of the school and you can bring your old shoes to the school when you visit during conferences.
Thank you!

Save Receipts for School Supplies
The Minnesota Department of Revenue offers two valuable tax benefits for parents who purchase school supplies for their K-12 students: the K-12 Education Credit and Subtraction. These benefits can reduce parents’ taxes to increase their refund, but are only available for those who keep their receipts. Purchases for most school supplies, field trips, and musical instruments for school band are eligible.
Most Minnesota parents qualify for the K-12 subtraction, which reduces their taxable income. Parents under certain income limits may also qualify for the K-12 credit, which can refund up to 75% of their costs – even for parents who do not owe any taxes. Visit MN Department of Revenue website for details.
