AR Reading Rewards
We love to read.
Parents please remember that when your child reads an AR book and passes a test on it, he or she is eligible for AR Reading Rewards. Many in our class have earned the Chuckie Cheese, Chili's, bowling, and movie passes. They need to continue to read, read, read to earn the Six Flags tickets and the end of the year party. You have until March 1, 2013 to earn points for the Six Flags tickets. I will be sending home another AR report showing your child's AR testing points. Keep reading, you can do it!
100th Day of School
We celebrated by doing exercises for 100 seconds. We brought in 100 items and sorted, counted, and recorded by 2's, 5's, and 10's. Mrs. Luther brought us a special snack. We watched a video about 100 days of school. It was an exciting day.
Amirr and Kevin
Hey this is fun working together!
Kenzie and Breanna
Sorting, counting and recording can be fun!
