We are starting our read at home program, it is called Paws for Reading! Knickrehm students will be bringing home their reading logs to fill out every night. Please write down how many minutes they read each night and sign the bottom at the end of the week and send it back to school on Mondays. Your student will receive a chain necklace to wear once a month with a PAW tag and a NUMBER tag to show off how many days they have read! Please help us help our students to become better readers and life long learners by encouraging them to read every night!!!
