Week of January 12th

Exciting news!  It is our turn to lead the pledge!  Each day for the next two weeks 3-4 students will go to the news studio and lead the whole school in the Pledge of Allegiance.  Every one will get at least one turn, maybe more, provided they are in the classroom by 7:35. Bus riders are always in the classroom with plenty of time.

Reading Tip of the Week:
Take control of the television! It is hard for reading to compete with TV and video games.  Encourage reading as a free-time activity.
