Welcome Saddlewood Families!
Reading and learning are passions for all of us and we hope to share some of that passion with all of you. We believe high expectations lead to high learning gains for all students. Below are a few tips and websites to help you support your child while we are using distance learning.
- Make reading for 20 minutes a part of your daily routine. Try new ways to enjoy reading, such as reading aloud to one another, reading in a new place, or choosing a book to read as a family.

- Accelerated Reader tests are available during school hours for students to take tests on the books they have been reading at school and at home.
- In math, manipulatives are an important part of math practice that can be difficult to replicate at home. Cereal, uncooked beans, and marshmallows are perfect for counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division practice. If you are working on place value, pretzel sticks, licorice, straws, toothpicks, or other long stringy items are great for representing tens.
