BUpper Weekly Parent Conversations

Families: Please Join Us Virtually on January 23rd for Wellness Night

Come join us for a fun night of reading! We will read a beloved story to celebrate Chinese New Year and learn how to retell the story with details. This event will provide you with an opportunity to listen to a read-aloud using expression, cadence, and questioning techniques to enhance comprehension. Families will learn the components to an effective retelling for a fiction story and students will receive a bookmark to guide them through an oral retelling of any story. We hope you will be with us for this joyous evening!

Weekly Parent Conversations will occur virtually on Mondays, 7:00pm – 8:00pm. The themes will cover wellness, math, and language arts. Specific topics will be announced the Friday before in News You Choose.
