👉 Point as you go: Trace the words to bridge the gap between sounds and symbols.
🖼️ Talk about the art: Ask "What happens next?" to build those critical thinking muscles.
😊 Keep it fun: 10 minutes of joyful reading is better than 30 minutes of "forced" practice.
The 20-Minute Rule: Reading just 20 minutes a day exposes a child to nearly 1.8 million words per year. That is a massive head start.

> Prep the night before: Lay out clothes and pack backpacks together.

🏫 Friday, March 6: Half Day (Pre-K–5)
There will be a Half Day for all students in grades Pre-K through 5 due to Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Over winter break, Mr. Sangaré from CMPS, and Mr. MBodj from SHS, led 8 Schenectady High School students on a transformative educational experience in Dakar, Senegal.
Students engaged in immersive learning that connected them history and culture. During the trip, students visited major cultural and historical sites, including Goree Island and the slave house. Students also participated in an academic exchange day at two local high schools in Dakar.
Looking for a spot for the current school year? We have a limited number of immediate openings in our Pre-K program for the remainder of the 2025-2026 School Year! Register now by clicking on the link below.
