Reading aloud helps young readers build literacy skills, expand their vocab and improve comprehension. Rendale is flying through his new book! PCS is grateful to have carring adults, like Traci, who volunteer their time to listen to our kindergarteners.

5th Grade Reading CKLA:
Mrs. McCord's and Mrs. Gloy's students channeled their inner Leonardo da Vinci as they wrapped up their unit on the Renaissance. They explored influential artists, their styles, some of the most famous works of the time, and the impact of this time period. To bring their learning to life, students completed a color-by-number of the Mona Lisa. This combined creativity with content a fun, hands-on way. It was great to see their focus and excitement as their masterpieces came together!
