Blog About Books

One of the best ways to find out about great books is from your friend's recommendations. For homework in April, your child will be asked to use the Blogging About Books tab to write about a book they have read. The blog post should include the title and author, a little bit about the book, and whether they liked the book or not. Your child may also choose to recommend it to someone. Please see Mrs. Haydon's Blog to see how her class is blogging about books.

News Flash!

Hello, all! I hope you are having a pleasant weekend. Remember, tomorrow is a teacher workday. Some students were telling me that they plan to work on their fish projects on Monday. I have heard many great ideas. I can't wait to see what they come up with!
Classroom Update: We have started to tally up our good behavior. Each time our class receives a compliment, or earns a perfect score in Specials, or transitions well throughout the day we record our accomplishment with a tally mark on the board. When we collect 30 tally marks we will celebrate with a voted upon activity. We already have 4 tally marks! We voted last week for our first celebration to include "Performances." Several students will showcase their talents. Please let me know if you would like to join us.
