Muffins with Mom

Friday, January 18, 2013

7:45 AM to 8:15 AM

You and your second/fourth grader are invited to enjoy a light breakfast and reading in your child’s classroom. After you arrive, please help yourselves to muffins and juice and enjoy the time together reading.

It is very important for young children to see their parents as readers. Whether it is the newspaper, a magazine, or a great novel, children need to see and understand reading is a part of our everyday lives. These times shared will become important memories of enjoying books together.

If you are unable to attend, please feel free to send a grandmother, aunt, older sister, or another significant adult in your child’s life.
