Calling All Creatives- A Note From Mrs. Cunningham
Do you LOVE reading? Are you interested in winning a FREE book? Throughout the year we use many tissues in the library. To help build our supply, the River Ridge Library is holding a Tissue Box Challenge!
The directions are simple: get a new tissue box (any size) and decorate the outside of the box with the theme of your favorite book. Can’t pick just one favorite? Multiple entries are welcome! You may choose a picture book or a chapter book. The boxes will be displayed in the library until Friday, October 25th. Students (and teachers) will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite design during their library time from October 18-25. The top three vote-getters will receive a free book of his or her choice from the book fair in November.
The deadline to turn in your tissue box is Thursday, October 17th. The winners will be announced on our River Ridge Library Facebook page, so join our group if you haven’t already!
Questions? Please email our librarian at karen.cunningham@leanderisd.org. Thank you! Can’t wait to see all the fun entries!
Homework
Required Reading: This week, please have your child complete the 30 minutes of Istation. This is required weekly. No readers will be going home this week.
Required Math and PACE Math: Your child needs to login to Imagine Math. They need to complete 30 minutes for the week. Their passwords are updated in their binders, but it is preferred for students to login through on LaunchPad on the Leander ISD Website. They should be familiar with LaunchPad. Please make sure your child is completing this independently since it puts them on an individualized path based on their skills.
Link to Launchpad (click here) if needed. :)
