“Idita-Read to College!”

H.A.P.Y. Notes

Through the month of March we will be reading our way around Montana to visit each of our adopted colleges. We need everyone to join in and read at home each evening to make sure we make it all the way around our “Idita-read” course by our celebration on March 26. Be watching your “Monday Folders” and our Hillcrest Connection for more information on this exciting event.

This month the H.A.P.Y. After-School program will be working on a variety of things. Each Wednesday they will have their physical fitness activities, Thursdays will be devoted to art, 4-H and Federation of Galaxy Explorers; and Mondays and Tuesday’s will be activities based around March events and holidays. Remember, there is no school on Monday, March 22.

Connecting Home & School

Build your child’s research skills–and love of reading

Sometimes, going beyond the book is just what your child needs to amp up her love of reading. Does your child have a favorite book? Take her to the library or use your computer to research:

• The setting. Is the book set in a real town? Have your child look up information about the town. Was it accurately portrayed, or were aspects of it changed?

• The main character. Was the main character based on a real person? Try to find a biography of the person. How did the book differ from reality?

• The author. Encourage your child to put herself in the author’s shoes. What other books has the author written? What does the author most like to write about? Why does your child think the author enjoys that subject?
