Book Exchange

We have quite a lot of readers this year that, like their teacher, love a GREAT book! Therefore, we discussed having a Book Exchange in the classroom. These need to be books that you no longer plan to read, but enjoyed thoroughly and can't wait to share with your friends!

How will it work?
  1. Bring in a book (if you want) to place on the Book Exchange shelf.
  2. Write your name on the inside cover so the new reader knows who to come to for questions, comments, or reflections.
  3. Grab a book from the Book Exchange shelf if you need a good suggestion on what to read!
  4. Enjoy reading and bring the book back to the shelf when you're done.

Survivor Preparations: White T-Shirts

Our annual Survivor team competiton will be held Friday, October 9 from 9:00-12:00. In order to be a team on that day, we also need to look like a team, too! We are the Dicesquad this year and would love to tie-dye t-shirts for the event. We will use the shirts for field day and field trips for a unified look!

Please send a white (new or old) t-shirt that can be tie-dyed to school by Wednesday, September 30.

Yummy . . . Thanks!

Many thanks to all families for the sugar-free gum, Hershey Kisses, and snacks/drinks donations! These little incentives get us a long way!

Spelling Change--This Week ONLY!

Instead of knowing how to spell the words on your word list this week, your job is to understand what the words mean, when they would be used, and their importance. I will spell the words on the test for Friday.

No pre-test on Thursday.

Handout received today with all of the words listed is due Friday, too.
