A Message from Mrs. Caudill
Two weeks left, two weeks... can you believe it? The last two weeks of school are always the most difficult to keeps students engaged even under the best of circumstances. All they want to do is go outside and play. Who can blame them?? We really appreciate your support keeping our students on schedule and learning as the school year winds down.
Also, I hope everyone had fun today with their Bobcat Olympic Bash activities. I know I had fun rolling a cookie down my face trying to get it in my mouth. I don't think I ever actually did it, but I sure did laugh a ton! I hope your family had just as much fun today participating in our virtual field day.
Stay Well. Stay Safe. Stay Hopeful.
Devon Caudill

Dragon Rider, by Cornelia Funke
I hope you have enjoyed listening to the book is Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke. I have enjoyed reading it to you over the last two months! The end always brings a tear to my eye!
The story is about Firedrake, Ben and their furry friend, Sorrel, who are in search of the mythical place where dragons can live in peace forever. Together, they embark on a journey that takes them to magical lands where they meet marvelous creatures - and one ruthless villain. Along the way, they discover allies in odd places, courage they didn't know they had, and a hidden destiny that changes everything.
This book a quite a bit longer than the last read aloud. As a result, the recorded readings are longer as well.

May's Focus: Integrity! Habit 8: Find your Voice!
Every month Amerman Focuses on a new theme and Leader in Me Habit of the Month. The focus for the month of April is Integrity and our Habit of the Month is Habit 8: Find Your Voice. Just because we are not at school doesn't mean we can't practice our Leader in Me Habits and our theme of the month.
Find your voice means finding something that you are good at and like doing. You are proud, but do not boast. Instead, you use your expertise to help and inspire others.
