Book Adventure:

The kids have been reading like crazy!  They are so excited to share how many points they have earned.  This week I spoke with each student individually and showed them the amount of points they have earned, and what there percentage was for passing the quizzes.  I expressed to them the importance of reading slowly so they can understand and remember what they read in order to pass the quizzes the first time, thus earning the most points.

Hat and Mitten Tree:

If able, please donate new hats, mittens, gloves, and scarves to help children in our area stay warm this winter.

Art Supplies:

I am in search of empty toilet paper rolls (or paper towel rolls) and empty egg cartons for an art project I am planning.  If you have any of these items please send them with your child.  I will need a total of 16 toilet paper rolls and 3 egg cartons.  Thank you!
