Reading Festival Begins Today!

Good Morning!
The reading festival kicks off today!  This year is a little bit different than in the past.  In an effort to try to simplify things, we are not sending home a minute chart.  I have spoken with the students and told them to keep track of their minutes at home.  When they add up to an hour they should record it in their agenda book.  Once they have 5 hours they should check in with Miss Wood or myself for a sticker.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you & happy reading!!! READ, READ, READ!

No Library next week

There will be no library next week on Monday, January 23rd due to the book fair.

What a fun day in 2016
