 All Crestwood parents. We would love to hear from you! Below is a link to a survey asking

for how we can better serve you this school year. Thanks! It shouldn't take more than a couple minutes.

     We are excited to be back at school! It's so wonderful to start a NORMAL school year. We love seeing all of your children's happy faces! We have been giving some assessments to students for the last few weeks. They are all working so hard.

     We are pleased to let everyone know that we have a new addition to the Crestwood Reading Team! Mrs. Allenbaugh is joining us from Kennerly Elementary where she was a first grade teacher. We are so excited to have her join our team. We should be letting you know by September 20th if your child will be in a reading intervention group this trimester. 

Fall Reading Updates

 The reading specialist finished fall testing mid-September and have been seeing students for the past two weeks. It is so great to work with students in-person. Please reach out if you would like to schedule a meeting with us. Here are some tips for discussions with your kids at home:

● Talk about it! Talk with your child about their day but guide the discussion by asking questions like: 

○ Did you make a mistake today? What did you learn? 

○ What did you do today that was difficult? 

● Praise the Process! Instead of saying “You are so smart!” praise effort, goal setting, persisting through a challenge, or being creative. 

○ Wow! You must have worked really hard on this! 

● The Brain Can Grow! Remind your child that their intelligence is not fixed. Remind them that when things are difficult, their brain grow, if they persist through the challenge. 

○ Wow! You persisted, and made your brain grow a new connection!

 The Crestwood Reading Team is thrilled to be working with students again, both virtually and in person. We are here for you, if you have any questions. Here is a great website to try out whenever there is some down time. We love how there are various activities listed by grade level.
