Request

We have let students know that for the remainder of the school year all mechanical pencils, pencil sharpeners, and pens need to be left at home. You wouldn't believe the problems that these tiny items can cause! We provide the students with all necessary materials. While this may bring back memories of the previous pencil fee, this is a genuine request!

Saw this and wanted to share....

READ-O Party!

We will be having our READ-O celebration this Friday afternoon! Students who have filled out their entire READ-O card showing that they have read books in the historical fiction, mystery, fantasy, teacher choice, biography, and adventure genres are invited! 

Please have your reader come to school on Friday with a blanket or towel. We will have Readers' Workshop outside and then finish off the day with an ice cream sundae party. 

The teachers will provide the ice cream, and your generous children have offered to bring in the toppings for the sundae bar. If your child offered to bring in an item and this doesn't suit you, please just let us know. Otherwise, we appreciate your help!

Bill of Rights

Take a look at the Bill of Rights Institute website. Under the resources tab, look for the Bill of Rights game and Madison's notes are Missing.  The two games are really wonderful and timely as we are discovering the parts of the government and how the constitution was written.
