Lunch room manners. School lunch is my favorite time of day. I love the smiles and
conversations I get to have with students. We are working this month on lunchroom manners. We want our students to sit nicely in their spot and quietly talk with students nearby. Please help support this and discuss meal manners with your child(ren).
Principal’s
book club. For November, 244 students read
Charlotte’s Web. I was blown away!!! For December, we are reading Sarah, Plain and Tall. It is an older book, but short and with a sweet story. 1st – 5th grade students who read and take the AR test on or before December
14 will be invited to the December Principal’s Book Talk on 12/15. Kindergarten students who read it with their families should draw a picture of their favorite scene and have a parent or guardian sign the picture. We have some
special activities planned. I am super excited.
Pizza and Pies AR Class Challenge.
1st - 5th grade students were challenged by Mrs. Van Hise to have EVERYONE in their class meet their AR points and comprehension goal by December
13th. Classes that accomplished this challenge will get to have a pizza lunch and some will have an opportunity to pie Mrs. Jackson, Ms. Austin, and Mrs. Van Hise in the face on December 16th. Kindergarten classes were also given the challenge of every student
in the class completing and turning in their book log. Classes that meet this goal with get to have a read aloud and sweet treat with Mrs. Jackson. We have enjoyed seeing students cheering on their classmates as they work their way towards meeting their
goals. There is still time for students to reach their goals, be sure to pick up a good book or two for the weekend.
