Summer Reading Bookmark Contest!
Mrs. Truesdale, our librarian, is having a Summer Reading Bookmark Contest! The contest is open for all students, PK-5th grade. Students can get a blank bookmark during their library time the week of March 28.
There are a few requirements:
1. The bookmark MUST be about books or reading.
2. It can have a summer theme, but not required
3. It needs to be hand drawn by the child (no digital art)
4. It MUST be drawn on the blank bookmark template provided by Mrs. Truesdale
If your child designs a bookmark, it needs to be returned to Mrs. Truesdale by Friday, April 8. This contest is optional. They will be judged by Crockett staff members. Bookmarks will be divided into 2 categories: Pk-2nd and 3rd-5th grade. So we will have two winners! The winning bookmarks will be printed and passed out to all students, teachers, and staff for our Summer Reading Challenge!

Work together to create a family Honesty pledge. Ask each family member to sign the pledge and choose a spot on the fridge to post it. Refer back to the pledge as a reminder of the importance of being honest and use it to hold each other accountable.
PERSERVERANCE CHARACTER RECOGNITION
MATH CORNER: Math Fact Fluency
Math fact fluency is the ability to quickly recall addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division math facts through conceptual learning, fact strategies, and memorization.
Math fluency is important because it…
- contributes to students’ ability to solve more difficult problems quicker and more accurately.
- leads to success in students’ future mathematics courses and careers.
- builds confidence in students’ math ability.
This year, each grade level has made a commitment to a set of facts. We look forward to working together to ensure mastery of our math fact commitments!
- Kinder-Addition 0-5
- 1st Grade-Addition 0-10
- 2nd grade-addition and subtraction 0-10
- 3rd grade-multiplication 0-12
- 4th grade-division 0-12
- 5th grade- all
