Reading Week kicked off to a great start this morning with the students coming dressed as their favorite book characters. I had a classroom of story book characters from Junie B Jones to Percy Jackson. Well done! Tomorrow is Drop Everything and Read Outside and the students will need to bring to school a towel to sit on. On Thursday we will buddy read with Mrs. Owen's first graders and Miss Conroy's Kindergarten class. On Friday is the Oldie Goldie book sale. Your child needs to only bring in a few dollars for the sale. As a reminder, please keep sending in gently used books for the sale.
