Baggie Books


Thank you so much for all of the reading you have been doing at home. The children love getting a new book to bring home and read. Sometimes your child will bring home a previously read book. It is important for your child to reread familiar texts so that they can build fluency and stamina while reading!

We are taking a hike on Thursday, January 28th!

Please send your child to school in warm clothing and boots everyday! Next Thursday it will be even more important as we have planned a hike. We will search for animal tracks around the school, weather permitting. If there is not enough snow cover we will enjoy a nature hike while listening for animals.

Our Valentines Day Party is February 12th!


Please donate empty cereal boxes that we can use to make our Valentines Day boxes!
