February Reading Calendars!

I forgot to tell students to write it in their planner! Reading Calendars are due no later than Wed. March ones will be coming home on Mon.

Dance, Pioneer, Dance

I sent home a poem with your children today. They will be doing it in groups of three.  Each student has been assigned specific lines in the poem. They need to work on memorizing their part at home. Those will be due March 10th. This is part of their oral report grade.

Book Battle!

Parents! We are having our annual book battle against Butterfield Canyon! I will be sending home a calendar tomorrow. They need to keep track of any minutes they read at home over the next two weeks. This is a different calendar than their reading calendar. It will be due March 5th! It must have a parent’s signature to count! Happy Reading!

Valentine Party!

We had a great party! Thanks to all who helped out! We had a contest and students voted on the best Valentine mailboxes. We made bookmarks, frosted cookies, played tic-tac-toe, unscrambaling words, and ate lots of delicious treats! Click here to see pictures!
