Leaders Farm

Continue to read 15 books to receive free admission to the MAiZe at Leaders Farm.  If your child reads 15 books and returns the reading log sent home with this newsletter, they will receive a free admission to the MAiZe  along with a free order of CinnaSquares from Marco's Pizza.  Please sign the reading log when your child completes it and return it to me.

Book Adventure

We began reading books for book adventure.  Your child is encouraged to read books and then check their comprehension by completing an online test.  There is no grade taken on these tests, it is clearly to monitor the progress your child makes when it comes to reading comprehension.

Pop Tabs

Continue to bring in pop tabs!!

Gym Class

Monday is Gym class.  Please make sure your child brings a change of clothes so that they can participate in gym class.  Every class that they do not have clothes results in a decrease in their gym grade. We are learning kick ball!

Cafeteria
