The students performed their readers’ theatre play called Bob the Goofy Reindeer by Lisa Frase using the app called PuppetPals. This was a fun way to practice fluency and expression! I hope you enjoy!

Please read the note about our Christmas party.
We will bring home a wish list for books we viewed at the book fair on Tuesday. At this point they will not reorder books if they run out. Please understand that if your child comes to purchase a book and they are out of the book they wanted they will need to choose another book from their wish list or a book of the same price. Parents can come during school hours on Wednesday and Thursday and then they will have a “Parent Night” on Thursday night from 6-8. Thank you for helping us have a successful book fair!
