Ava is a kindergartener in Mrs. Hunt's class at Williams. Ava has worked hard all year long and has achieved each of her WIGS. She and her teacher are most proud of her growth in Reading levels. She also has mastered the kindergarten sight words, which was one of her biggest goals. This summer she plans to continue Reading to keep sharpening her already awesome Reading skills. Way to go Ava!
