Through a continued partnership with the state’s PBS stations, Tennessee students have access to academic instructional videos airing on PBS statewide, which include video lessons for Pre-K-3 students and additional grade levels for science and math. Additionally, Starting with Sounds videos are airing each Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. CT, which is a Reading 360 statewide awareness campaign to help Tennessee parents and students understand the importance of reading in an engaging and fun way.
In collaboration with Tennessee PBS, the department created Starting with Sounds to highlight the importance of early literacy and how families and students can practice reading by watching and listening to national and local musicians, athletes, and champions of student success read their favorite books and sing songs to help build these critical skills.
Families can watch the instructional video lessons created specifically for Tennessee students on all six state PBS stations – WNPT Nashville, East Tennessee PBS, WCTE Upper Cumberland, WKNO Memphis, West TN PBS, and Chattanooga WTCI from 9 a.m. –11 a.m. CT each weekday.

In partnership with Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation (GELF), the department is opening up an opportunity for parents to order free at-home reading resources this winter for any of their children in grades K-2. Through this partnership, the department and GELF want to encourage at-home reading practice to help young learners become stronger readers outside of the classroom. Based on if a child is in kindergarten, 1st or 2nd grade, they will receive seven At-Home Decodable Book Series, which contain 20+ exciting stories full of sounds and words to practice, and age-appropriate, high-quality books from Scholastic. All Tennessee families can order one booklet pack for each of their kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students using this site. https://readingresources.mybrightsites.com/ This launch is part of the family component of the state’s Reading 360 initiative to help boost strong reading skills amongst Tennessee students.

Merry Christmas from Meigs North Elementary. Have a safe and happy holiday season.
PreK staff asked friends and family to help sponsor a board game for each student in Pre-K at Meigs North. So many times today we see students on different types of technology. These board games will enhance family time, and student's academic, social, emotional, and motor skills. They were able to collect enough board games to send home with every student. We cannot thank our community enough for donating to this new tradition. The Grinch even grew a heart and delivered the presents to the students.
Meigs North PreK had a surprise visit by Santa yesterday & he brought Happy Meals! We would like to thank Brittany Hughes with Decatur McDonald’s for making this happen!
Decatur McDonald's is hosting a Grinch Night on December 20th from 5:00-7:00!
