• If You Traveled on the Underground Railroad is our Principal’s Book Chat book for 2^nd -5^th graders for January. We have discovered that there are two versions of the book, one by  Ellen Levine and the updated one by  Ebony Joy Wilkens.  The AR test is for the one by Ellen Levine, but we have more copies of the book by Wilkens.  To make it easier on everyone, students can read either version and instead of taking the AR test, write three facts that they learned from the book.  I want to encourage students to use their best writing skills and to use all of the writing strategies that they have learned from their teachers.  To give everyone the opportunity to read the book, students will have until February 9 to complete the book and turn in their paper.
  
  

• KG-2nd Principal's Book Chat for February--Chickens Don’t Fly by Laura Lyn Disiena. We have ordered extra copies for the Media Center, and they should arrive by Wednesday.  I can't wait to see how many students we will have at our book chat!  1^st and 2^nd grade students should read and take the AR test by 3:00 on      March 4.  Kindergarten students should draw a picture and write/dictate a fun fact they have learned from the book and turn it in to Mrs. Martin by 3:00 on March 4.
