Our first graders began partner reading this week to build fluency! They’re learning that fluent readers read at a good pace, read accurately, and use expression—also known as “storytelling” reading. 🗣️✨
To bring these skills to life, mystery guest readers are joining story time to model fluent reading. Our first mystery reader was… Mr. Glick! 🎉

Building Skills for Future Learning! 💻✨ Our 3rd graders have been working with Mrs. Nicholson to learn the ins and outs of Google Slides! Students are practicing how to add slides, type and format text, insert images, and resize and move objects to create their own presentations.
Our goal is simple: celebrate students for showing up, being part of their classroom team, and being ready to learn! Each day a homeroom has all of its students present—or is missing only one student—the class earns a football for its grade level. 🏈 Those footballs are already starting to make their way onto our attendance board!
Our staff got in on the fun with a game of their own! Staff members had to search for and collect teacher football cards hidden throughout the building to build a complete team. Congratulations to Ms. Lewis, who completed her roster first! Because at Farmington, every member of the team matters! 🏆
🏈 Attendance is what matters—and so do YOU! 🦊
