Twenty minutes can fit before bed, after practice, during a quiet afternoon, or wherever your student finds time. Let them choose their reading and avoid turning every session into a quiz.
A simple conversation can help make reading meaningful.
HAZ DE LA LECTURA UNA RUTINA📖
Veinte minutos pueden encontrar su lugar antes de dormir, después de una práctica, durante una tarde tranquila o en cualquier momento que tu estudiante tenga disponible.
Déjalo elegir lo que quiere leer y evita convertir cada momento de lectura en un cuestionario. Una conversación sencilla sobre lo que está leyendo puede ayudar a que la lectura sea más significativa.

🌾 Wetland Walk

It was a fantastic day filled with curiosity, discovery, and learning beyond the classroom! A huge THANK YOU to the wonderful educators at Sturgeon City for making this such a memorable experience for our 5th graders!

November is National Career Development Month, and Pender County Schools CTE is inviting students to think big about where their interests and talents could take them. Through the PCS Dream Big Career Quest, students can explore a month of interactive career activities including videos, career guessing games, skill match-ups and opportunities to reflect on their own futures, all with no login required. 🚀💼
The month will feature weekly themes, career spotlights ranging from healthcare and technology to creative and community-focused careers, a Career Development Spirit Week and the Fall Into Your Future Career Fair on November 20. Along the way, students can discover the skills behind different careers while beginning to make connections between what they enjoy today and the possibilities waiting for them tomorrow. 🎓🛠️💡 https://sites.google.com/pender.k12.nc.us/pcsctencdm26/home
