Role Models

What can a 1st grader learn from a 4th grader, a lot! After much preparation and anticipation, 4th graders have begun their volcano teaching units with younger students. Today, Mrs. McCarty's 4th grade students presented their lessons to the 1st grade classes. I appreciate the immense preparation and the way in which the 4th graders shared both their knowledge and the importance of learning to the little ones. Way to go, guys!

What's Ahead

The library/media center is excited to share plans for two upcoming spring literacy events. First, we will celebrate the 107th birthday of Dr. Seuss Feb. 29-March 2. There will be fun dress days aligned with his books, daily contests, library book talks dedicated to his books and (hopefully) record breaking A.R. testing. Look for more info in upcoming weeks on this celebration.

In addition, in April, we will celebrate our semi-annual book fair and literacy night. This year's theme is: Surf on In to the Reading Luau. For family night, we are planning fun events like a photo booth, "surfing" the Internet, read alouds, and tropical games and snacks. This event will be April 19th. Hope to see you at both.
