Yes! You can find our classroom wish list HERE!
What are the 7 habits?
These are the 7 Habits of Happy Kids. Carmel schools has adopted these as part of our social-emotional learning curriculum. This week, we learned about being proactive! Ask your student what it means to be proactive. :)

What type of reading is best for my child at the start of the year?
Any kind of reading! It may look different for each student. Any kind of print - digital, paper books, library books, picture books, comic books, easy reader books, leveled books, etc. Reading out loud is my favorite because they are able to hear the words, work on fluency and expression. Sometimes first graders "silent read" and it is more of a "pretend to read". ;)
We are working on building great reading habits! Check out our chart below.
