Weekly News: Week 7

This week was the Book Fair. The students had a wonderful time browsing and shopping all the latest titles. It's always a great week at our school. Thank you to all the families who donated a book to our class library!

We also started our Read-A-Thon this week! Students have been busy reading in class, helping to earn money for our school and the library. Our class has already earned over $200! The Read-A-Thon continues through Friday, October 7th so students still have the opportunity to join in and get donations.

As you know, last Thursday we had our Kids Against Hunger event. It was an amazing experience. Check out this video made by Eagle TV chronicling the event.

Every week in computer lab we have been using the program Zearn.org which has amazing math concepts! The kids work through the lessons for more practice and support. If you are interested in having your student practice this at home, just have them ask me for their password so they can login.


Upcoming Events:

  • Tuesday, 10/4- Auction... students can sell items they have made (artwork, jewelry, food, etc). It must be handmade, not store bought. All food items need to have ingredients listed in order to sell them. No nuts.
