I love the "ber" Months!
The "ber" months are my favorite months of the year! September, October, November, and December! They have the best holidays, and some exciting things happening!
September has flown by!
Students were set up on the Chromebooks and Digital Citizenship lessons were taught in the library.
We started our Harmony Project with Cantata learning. I am so excited to share that we were selected to do an interview with an Eye Doctor, on Thursday, October 6th. Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Tiller's classes will be participating.
I can't believe that October is already here! So many exciting things have happened since school started.
Our Bookaneer Book Fair is coming up! Thank you to all our Brannen Volunteers for helping us get ready! It is going to be a great Book Fair!
Red Ribbon Week will also be the same week as Book Fair! What an exciting week we are planning. We will investigate all the different pillars of character with Mrs. Bundick.
We can't wait to see the fourth grade program on Thursday, October 27.
The second nine weeks is full of wonderful opportunities that I hope you will take advantage of.
Great Texas Mosquito List
Your BISD librarians and the Children's Librarian from the public library worked hard to create a list of books our students will love.
In Jan. - Feb. the students will be able to cast their votes for the first annual Great Texas Mosquito Award for the author of the books.
These titles are also the titles that will be used in our Name That Book Contest in April.
So hurry and check these out in the library.
