Book Fair!!!
Reading for pleasure unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps children discover who they are. Here’s what you can do to help children develop stronger reading skills and a love for reading:
· Set the example. Let children see you read.
· Have a collection of books in your home. Update this collection routinely to keep
up with changing tastes and reading skills.
· Support our school’s Book Fair. Allow your children to choose their own books
to read.
Our Scholastic Book Fair is a reading event that brings the books kids want to read right into our school. It’s a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level. Please make plans to visit our Book Fair and be involved in shaping your child’s reading habits.

Crusader of the Week:
Jason Blunt. This crusader is doing an excellent job showing respect and responsibility in his classes and the team is enjoying working with him!
Clips from the Classroom:
ELA: “Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi” - exploring literary elements using the short story, “The Gift of the Magi”. Advanced classes will move on with...the art of arguing.
Math: Do you like sports? Do you like movies? Are we equivalent? A new relationship is forming - proportional relationships!
Science: Plants are so kind. They take what they need and give what they don’t. Learning what the give and take is with photosynthesis reactants and products.
World Studies: You mean, those really ancient Greeks left something behind? Let’s find out their legacy!
